Analysis of electroencephalographic waves under the influence of binaural sound stimulation

This research project aims primarily to validate the hypothesis that auditory stimulation, based on complex binaural beats generated from mixtures of tones, voice, music, and voice + music, facilitates English language learning. The study builds upon previous research demonstrating that cortical neurons process complex sounds via frequency bands and on the work conducted by the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) regarding asymmetric binaural stimuli. The methodology involves utilizing stimulation files provided by UCM and equipment from the Biomedical Engineering Research Group (GIB) at the Salesian Polytechnic University (UPS). The goal is to detect a significant increase in brain activity within the frequency range corresponding to the stimulation and to contrast the results with prior data from UCM. The process includes analyzing the state of the art, implementing the auditory stimulation, collecting and analyzing data from individuals, and documenting the findings to determine the optimal stimulation type for learning.<br/><br/><b>Goal</b>: <br/>To analyze the brain activity of participants under the influence of different auditory stimulations, specifically complex binaural beats, to verify if this stimulation facilitates the learning of the English language.<br/><br/><b>Research lines</b>: <br/>Biosignals and medical images
