چکیده

هدف از این پژوهش تعیین اثربخشی همگام‌سازی امواج مغزی در باند آلفا برحافظۀ فعال، آنتی‌ساکاد(بازداری حرکات چشم) و سطح اضطراب شرکت‌کنندگان اضطرابی بود. طرح پژوهش حاضر از نوع نیمه آزمایشی پیش‌آزمون - پس‌آزمون با گروه کنترل بود. در این راستا، پس از غربالگری 250 دانشجو، تعداد 30 دانشجوی اضطرابی توسط پرسشنامۀ اضطراب بک انتخاب شده و به طور تصادفی در دو گروه آزمایش و کنترل گمارده شدند (هر گروه 15 نفر). همۀ شرکت‌کنندگان در پیش‌آزمون و پس‌آزمون توسط آزمون بلوک‌های تپنده کرسی، تکلیف آنتی‌ساکاد و پرسشنامه اضطراب بک ارزیابی شدند. شرکت‌کنندگان گروه آزمایش، ضربان‌های دو‌گوشی 10 هرتز را به مدت 30 دقیقه، 5 روز در هفته طی مدت یک ماه دریافت کردند. داده‌ها با استفاده از تحلیل کوواریانس چند‌متغیره تحلیل شد. نتایج نشان داد که ضربان های دو گوشی 10 هرتز (باند آلفا) به طور معنی داری حافظۀ فعال را بهبود بخشیده، آنتی‌ساکاد را افزایش داده و موجب کاهش سطح اضطراب شد.. بنابراین، همگام سازی امواج مغزی در باند آلفا به عنوان روش مداخله ای غیر‌ تهاجمی جهت کاهش اضطراب و بهبود کارکرد‌های شناختی توصیه میشود.

چکیده [English]

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Brainwave Entrainment in alpha band on working memory, anti-saccade and anxiety level of anxious participants. The present study is a quasi-experimental project of pre-test-post-test with control group. In this regard, after screening 250 university students, 30 anxious participants were selected by Beck anxiety inventory and randomly divided into one experimental group and one control group (15 groups each). All participants were assessed in the pre-test and post-test stages by the Corsi Blocks Tapping test, Antisaccade Task and Beck Anxiety inventory. Participants in the experimental groups received 10 Hz binaural beats for 30 minutes for 5 days a week in a period of one month. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance. The findings showed that 10 Hz binaural beats (alpha bands) significantly improved pasticipant's working memory, increased antisaccade and decreased anxiety level. Therefore, brainwave entrainment in the alpha band is recommended as a non-invasive intervention method to reduce the level of anxiety and improve cognitive functions.
