Abstract

Recently, the meditation is getting a major concern because of the trend of wellbeing. The various meditation methods are introduced, but, we need to take an appropriate method for himself or herself. Especially, the numbers of meditators who are using meditation music while they are meditating are increasing. Some people say it is helpful, but others don't. Therefore, I have studied the impact of the meditation music in this paper. I have compared between the meditation with the music and without the music by measuring the channels of left and right hemisphere of prefrontal lobe with 14-channel EEG device. For the result, I have found that there are great difference between two experiments.

최근에 웰빙의 열풍을 타고 명상에 대한 관심이 날로 커지고 있다. 다양한 명상방법들이 소개되고 있으나 사람에 따라 알맞은 방법으로 명상을 할 필요가 있다. 특히, 명상음악을 이용하여 명상을 즐기는 사람들이 늘고 있으며 어떤 사람은 그것이 도움이 된다고 하고 그렇지 않다고 하는 사람들도 있다. 따라서, 이러한 명상음악이 명상에 과연 얼마나 도움이 되는지를 본 논문에서 연구하게 되었다. 뇌의 좌우반구의 전전두엽 영역에 배치된 14개의 채널을 가진 EEG 장치를 이용하여 명상음악을 사용할 때와 그렇지 않을 때 어느 방법이 더욱 효과적인 명상을 할 수 있는지를 비교 실험하였다. 그 결과 2개의 실험에 큰 차이를 볼 수 있었다.
