“…The headset can detect brainwave signals in the form of meditation and attention scores. According to the EEG e-Sense Metric, attention and meditation data are scaled from 1 to 100 (40 to 60: natural state, 60 to 80: slightly high, 80 to 100: very high, 20 to 40: slightly low, and 0 to 20: very low) [ 28 , 29 ]. The SDM [ 30 ] and STAI [ 31 ] were used to study the participant's physiological responses in both environments.…”

Background. In Japan, “Shinrin-yoku” or forest bathing (spending time in forests) is a major practice used for relaxation. However, its effects on promoting human mental health are still under consideration. The objective of this study was to investigate the physiological and psychological relaxation effects of forest walking on adults. Sixty participants (50% males; 50% females) were trained to walk 15-minute predetermined courses in a bamboo forest and a city area (control). The length of the courses was the same to allow comparison of the effects of both environments. Blood pressure and EEG results were measured to assess the physiological responses and the semantic differential method (SDM) and STAI were used to study the psychological responses. Blood pressure was significantly decreased and variation in brain activity was observed in both environments. The results of the two questionnaires indicated that walking in the bamboo forest improves mood and reduces anxiety. Moreover, the mean meditation and attention scores were significantly increased after walking in a bamboo forest. The results of the physiological and psychological measurements indicate the relaxing effects of walking in a bamboo forest on adults.

“…We used e-Sense™ software for EEG data processing. Specifically, brain wave signals during states of relaxation and attention can be sorted from weak to strong on a scale from 1 to 100 by this software ( Sezer et al, 2017 ). Psychological data included the profile of mood states (POMS) and the semantic differential (SD) method.…”

Indoor plants can positively impact physical and mental health in daily life. However, the benefits of viewing indoor plants may be enhanced if the plants emit a fragrant aroma. In this crossover-design study, we measured the physiological and psychological effects of fragrant and non-fragrant Primula plants on 50 female college students, and explored whether aroma stimulation had additive benefits for this group. Non-fragrant Primula malacoides Franch was used as a control stimulus, and Primula forbesii Franch, which has a floral fragrance, was used as an experimental stimulus. We measured blood pressure, pulse rate, and electroencephalogram (EEG) to evaluate physiological responses, and used a mood state profile and the semantic differential (SD) method to evaluate psychological responses. We found that mean blood pressure and pulse rate decreased significantly after the experiment in both conditions. EEGs showed that the mean values of high alpha waves, high beta waves, and relaxation scores were significantly higher in the experimental vs. control condition. The average scores on each subscale of the psychological questionnaire improved after the experiment in both conditions, and the vitality (V) subscale and total emotional state scores were significantly better in the experimental vs. control condition. The results of the SD method showed that the sense of relaxation and comfort were significantly higher in the experimental vs. control condition. Compared with the non-fragrant Primula, the fragrant Primula induced relatively better physiological and psychological effects.

Oolong tea has an adequate amount of L-theanine acid, which can definitely affect human brain signal activity. Consequently, this study aimed to classify the effect level of L-theanine acid in Oolong tea relies on different participants focused on memorization and meditation state. An attention of the human brain was determined via electroencephalography (EEG) during the book reading state compared to not drinking and drinking conditions. To describe the memorization and meditation activity, this study focused on theta wave and alpha wave altogether. This properly measures a voltage fluctuation of these brain signals, as higher attention frequency indicated improving in mentioned state. Furthermore, Neural network performed the data classification of converted data in this study for high accuracy results. Each classified group was varied depending on the information of specified participants, i.e. gender, age, and body mass index (BMI). Obviously, several participants had a different effect level on L-theanine acid. Also, age, gender, and BMI of all participants were not totally affecting the effectiveness of L-theanine in this study. In conclusion, the results of this study represented that L-theanine in Oolong tea significantly affected the increasing of memorization and meditation. This result beneficially supports the production-proven of Oolong tea in the future apparently.
