Un estudio piloto para examinar los efectos de pulsos binaurales sobre la fluidez verbal.

Abstract

T he relationship between the exposure on Binaural Beats with theta frequen cy (6 Hz ) and performance on verbal fluency was examined . This research was conducted at the Colegio de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades de la Universidad San Francisco de Quito, Q uito. The overall research strategy consists of repeated measures , double - blind, and crossover experimental design . We experiment with 12 participants were experimented, all students from Universidad San Francisco de Quito; two conditions were taken one of those was control. Binaural Beats were created using Audacity software. The expected results of the proposed study are identified and discussed actually , taken from the research . The results indicated that the average of the participants who reacted about a fea r response while listening to the binaural beats was : M=12.42, SD=13.480 and the average for the control condition was : M=4.75, SD=4.595. The measure t=2.246 and p=0.04 6 are within the limit, p<0.05. The experiment suggests that the exposition o n Binaural B eats with theta frequency 6 Hz can change in mood, specifically the participant feels scared . It is recommended that a similar experiment with neuroimaging measuring as EEG for obtaining more efficient outcome.
