Abstract :
Past researches showed that neurofeedback training can enhance cognitive function. This study used alpha rhythm (8-12Hz) to conduct brain induced training. It proposed the use of Bluetooth Low Energy to connect the EEG signals to the smartphone. Then, the pattern of the interface will display the induced alpha energy. The result of the experiment indicates that the alpha power showed on the phone has a significant memory increase in the results of the memory of cognitive brain training.
