This power change seems to be related to auditory perception and sound location. Results showed larger absolute power differences for both BB stimulation sessions than resting state on bilateral temporal and parietal regions. EEG analysis was based on the comparison of power spectral density among three mental conditions: (1) theta BB stimulation, (2) beta BB stimulation, and (3) resting state. To achieve this aim, 20 healthy volunteers were stimulated with their personalized theta and beta BB for 20 min and their EEG signals were collected with 22 channels. The adjustable frequencies were estimated for each participant in accordance with their heart rate by applying the Brain-Body Coupling Theorem postulated by Klimesch. Personalized BB consisted of pure tones with a carrier tone of 500 Hz in the left ear together with an adjustable frequency in the right ear that was defined for theta BB (since f c for theta EEG band was 4.60 Hz ± 0.70 SD) and beta BB (since f c for beta EEG band was 18.42 Hz ± 2.82 SD). The aim of this research was to investigate whether personalized BB (specifically those within theta and beta EEG bands) improve brain entrainment. This auditory stimulation has been widely used to module brain rhythms and thus inducing the mental condition associated with the EEG bandwidth in use.
