Effect of Taiji post-standing on the brain analyzed with EEG signals

Abstract

Taiji post standing is a supplementary exercise for Taiji, which aids the internal function of the body and brain. Taiji post standing is usually considered to be helpful for human health. However, few studies have explored the mechanism of this exercise using modern measurement devices. This study for the first time explores the effect of Taiji post standing on the human brain with participants wearing EEG signal measurement devices. Based on our studies of participants, who were selected to practice three different Taiji posts, the experimental results provide evidence that standing Taiji posts can help people to relax, and they also found it easier to meditate. It is considered that this method of investigation can also be carried out for other Taiji exercises, and it will be possible to gain a greater understanding of the complex health regulation mechanism of Taiji.
