Brainwave reading during a OH solve.

[AK51]

Hi,

Does anyone want to know more about the EEG reading? And does anyone research on cubing and EEG?

I guess for a typical solve, we use very little brain energy unless we stuck. And why we like cubing because of the sudden brain activity right at the end of the solve.

Cheers,
Andy

Correlating EEG and cubing sounds like a great idea.

Good work!

This is incredible! Do you have a brief explanation of each band? Is it possible to see if parts of the brain relating to spatial awareness, visual memory, or logical thinking are being activated? There appears to be a lot of activity in the back of the brain which is maybe the occipital lobe?

Wow what a cool idea!

Intriguing. Makes me wonder what the difference between a two-handed solve and a OH solve would be.

I wonder if there is a difference for a blind solve.

Also, does cubing slow down brain aging?
Could it help to cure brain damages?
We need serious medical studies about it.

This is really cool!
I think I remember a podcast episode (dlsone or cubecast, probably cubecast) where Mats and Feliks had been doing solves while a machine measured their brain waves. They were in total zen mode while sessioning.

I am thinking to write an academic paper about this, I wonder if there is any place that I can publish the paper...

That's cool. I'd liek to learn more

You just bumped this thread after saying not to in another thread.

Dude I was genuinely interested

meanwhile noncubers using 100% of their brain be like:

Turn the front face clockwise by 90 degrees, turn the bottom face by 180 degrees, turn the front face clockwise by 90 degrees, turn the right face by 180 degrees, turn the top face by 180 degrees, turn the right face clockwise by 90 degrees...

Very interesting!

Very worthwhile bump. An intriguing video.
