Analyses of Characteristics of Changes in Cerebral Activation Status, Depending on Blood Types, in Response to Auditory Stimulation

摘要

As there has recently been growing interest in the correlation between blood type and personality in various fields, including educational organizations, corporations, culture related businesses, etc., numerous studies have been performed, and the results of such studies have been increasingly applied to the aforementioned organizations. In particular, a book authored by Park Hee-Yeon (2006), titled "Blood Type Reveals the Personality", showed that there is a correlation between blood type and temperament, or physical constitutions, which have been proved by results of many investigations and experiments conducted thus far. Based on such facts, it was considered that blood types are likely to affect the brain waves indicative of the status of human cerebral activities, and the purpose of this study was to analyze the patterns of variation of the cerebral activation status, depending on blood types, in response to external stimulation. The results of this study would provide the basis for classification of subjects, which is necessary for the selection of effective auditory stimulant sound sources in the process of neurofeedback therapy/training, inducing the users to modify their own brain waves for healing, and would also present the measures for the selection of efficient visual and auditory stimuli.
