The Effect of Horizontal Rotation Intervention on Brainwaves and Sleeping Quality

Abstract

The study focuses on the effect of Horizontal Rotation (HR) intervention on the brainwaves and sleeping quality. HR system is a custom-engineered rotating bed, designed to relax the physical body and to synchronize the electrical activity of the brain. It is known to enhance sleeping quality which resulted in a more relax and focus condition leading to healthier lifestyle. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is used to measure the brainwave electrical activity after being picked up by the metal electrodes connected at the scalp surface of a human. The brainwave signal is recorded before and after the intervention of HR undergoing for three sessions. The result shows that most participants experienced an improvement in sleeping pattern and sleeping quality. In addition, participants achieved higher Beta and Alpha brainwaves showing better focus and relaxation.
