Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures electrical activity in the brain using small, metal discs (electrodes) attached to the scalp. Brain cells communicate via electrical impulses and are active all the time, even during asleep. This activity shows up as wavy lines on an EEG recording.
Detailed explanation-2: -The findings indicate that low individuals with SAD (trait anxiety) exhibit significantly higher right frontal EEG brain hemispheric activation than individuals with high or average SAD.
Detailed explanation-3: -Various studies in the past have shown usefulness of Alfa electroencephalographic (EEG) biofeedback in the alleviation of anxiety symptoms.
