Abstract
This study is analized with how Dance as a healing art influence to elderly women's brain function measured by 2 channel system EEG(Electroencephalogram). The objects in this study are 60 aged over 65years in K city. The study started from March to July in 2013. The treatment was conducted by ones a week, 60minutes a time for 16 weeks. Participants are 30 of the experimental group and 30 of the control group checked by EEG before and after treatment. The result in experimental group is indicated as followed. The Basic Rhythm Quotient Lt(79.11/89.56, p<.015), wave length Rt((8.33/9.37, p<.003), amplitude Lt(39.87/47.19, p<.006), amplitude Rt(40.09/49.87, p<.000) did show statistically higher score after treatment. Therefore, dance as a healing art is to be proved the value and efficiency of the practical use for activating elderly women's brain function.
