Abstract :
In this research, Wireless EEG equipment via Bluetooth technology named g-Mobilab was used to measure the brainwave signals in the right and left frontal area of the brain. The recorded EEG signals were channelled into an automatic artifact removal analysis whereby signals above values of 100 micro-volts were removed by means of a program using Matlab. Consequently, Power Spectral Density techniques and specific algorithm were employed to further enhance the EEG signals. The correlation between the left and the right brainwaves were achieved using paired T test from SPSS. The results, which are brainwave balancing index (BBI) and brainwave dominance, were presented via Graphic User Interface (GUI). The outcome shows that BBI system could be established using EEG signals. These findings (brainwave dominance and BBI) could be used as a straightforward indicator of one´s ability to think and work leading to vast opportunity for constructive human potential advancement.
