A Study of the effect of sound on EEG

This paper presents a brief study of various effects of sound on the human brain activity. This can be shown through the study of EEG signal recorded. The effect is in the form of variation in either frequency or in the power of different EEG bands. A biomedical signal electroencephalography (EEG) reflects the state of mind and is often used to verify the influence of music on human brain activity. In fact EEG signals are related to the characteristic parameters of brain electrical activity. Moreover as our mind state changes EEG changes accordingly. The raw EEG cannot be observed or used efficiently. Hence various techniques like time frequency analysis has been employed to read the effects. Index Terms — biomedical signal, EEG
