After the data was collected it was formulated into 4 tables relating to Alpha Amplitude, Alpha Frequency, Beta Amplitude and Beta Frequency, the tables can be found in the appendix section below. The tables contain ID numbers to identify the volunteers as well as columns to show the amplitude (μV)/frequency (Hz) of alpha and beta during the four periods of no music (NM1, NM2, NM3, NM4),CL, CH, RL and RH. The percentage increase for all the different types of music compared to no music was…
