Abstract
The purpose of this research was to develop a binaural beats music training programfor enhancing the attention of secondary school students. The data were collected by behavioral measurements, and N100 and P100 ERPs, whilst performing attention tasks. The participants were 60 secondary school students from Pattaya City 11School, randomly divided into three groups of 20 each: one group used the Binaural Beats music program, another a plain music program, and the third, a control group, received no program. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, and MANOVA.The results showed that:The binaural beats music program involved 20 minutes of instrumental music from popular songs with inserted difference frequencies at 10 Hz; participants listened to the program for 14 consecutive days.The behavioral evaluation revealed that, after experiment, there was no difference in the mean scores among the three groups. However, the binaural beats music program group had a faster reaction time when compared with the ordinary music program group and the control group.The ERP data revealed that there were differences in brainwaves at central and occipital sites. Specifically, the binaural beats music program group had a higher amplitude and a lower latency of N100 and P100 ERPs than those of the ordinary music program and control groups. The results indicate that thebinaural beats music program was beneficial, enhancing the attention of secondary school students.
