Abstract
Introduction: Frontal and parietal association areas form the neural basis of concentration as evidenced by cellular studies of posterior parietal cortex in monkeys. Cerebral asymmetry, an evolutionary consequence,enhances brain output by synchronizing both hemispheres for maximal brain output facilitated by Super-brain yoga - a simple,effective technique to energize and recharge the brain, assessed with d2 test measuring attention, scanning and mental flexibility. Aim: To assess the effect of Super-brain yoga on the concentrating ability of students by d2 test. Materials and Method: 184 school children aged 11-13 yrs, physically fit & unaware of Super-brain yoga formed the study population. Methodology: (1) d2 test consisting of: (i) TN: total number of characters (ii) E1: number of characters omitted (iii) E2: the number of errors (iv) CP: concentration performance CP = (TN–E2) was performed before and after Super-brain yoga to assess students concentrating ability. (2) Super brain yoga/yogic squats performed for 1 month. Results: ‘p’ value < 0.05 statistical significance with paired ‘t’ test. Conclusion: Practicing Super-brain yoga for 1 month increased the concentrating ability of students.
Highlights
Frontal and parietal association areas form the neural basis of concentration as evidenced by cellular studies of posterior parietal cortex in monkeys[4]
The current study focuses on the effectiveness of Super-brain yoga on the concentrating ability of students using d2 test as a key[6]
The present study reveals a significant improvement in concentration & selective attention of students after doing Super-brain yoga with ‘p’ value of 0.001 significance for all d2 test parameters
Summary
An evolutionary consequence,enhances brain output by synchronizing both hemispheres for maximal brain output facilitated by Super-brain yoga - a simple,effective technique to energize and recharge the brain, assessed with d2 test measuring attention, scanning and mental flexibility. Frontal and parietal association areas form the neural basis of concentration as evidenced by cellular studies of posterior parietal cortex in monkeys[4]. Super-brain yoga by Master Chao Kok Sui with crossed hands, squatting up and down is thought to increase concentrating ability. Cerebral asymmetry of human brain is the consequence of evolution. The brain can plasticize to maximal extent during childhood
