| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 電機工程學系碩博士班 === 101 === The aim of this work is to investigate the performance of meditation practice and the response of emotional stimulation for meditators of varying levels of experience. This work also applies classification algorithms to implement the estimation of meditation experience levels. For this purpose, EEG data are collected during both meditation and emotional stimulation from meditators grouped into three categories (experienced, intermediate, and those having no previous meditation experience).
The results show that the power of EEG Alpha and Theta waves increases during meditation, and the improvement in the power of EEG positive during the meditation process correlates to the experience of meditators. In addition, the changes in physiological response of meditators during emotional stimulation are less than those of the participants having no previous experience with meditation. It demonstrates that experienced meditation can improve emotional stability as well as steady brain activity.
The proposed classification indicates that the correct rate in evaluating experience level is 64% in classification between baseline and meditation for all subjects, where experienced and intermediate meditators exhibit 68%, as opposed to participants with no previous meditation experience who weigh in at 58%. For the estimation of meditation experience under emotional stimulation, the correct rate is 60% during emotional states, and 65% between groups of different experience levels.
