Area of Science:

Sports Science
Neuroscience
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

Player performance is significantly influenced by mental state, particularly concentration.
Electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis, especially alpha and beta rhythms, can indicate mental state changes.
Measuring EEG during exercise is challenging due to signal noise from body movement.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel method for measuring EEG signals in athletes during physical activity.
To create a system capable of evaluating an athlete's mental state while exercising.
To enable appropriate athlete guidance based on real-time mental state assessment.

Main Methods:

Developed a new EEG measuring system for athletes that records EEG and body acceleration simultaneously.

Utilized an FM transmitter to send measured data to a receiver.

Employed personal computer analysis to separate EEG signals from noise.

Main Results:

The developed system was tested on normal subjects during exercise.
While some problems were identified, the system consistently obtained EEG with reduced noise.
The potential for real-time mental state evaluation in athletes was demonstrated.

Conclusions:

The developed EEG measuring system shows promise for assessing athletes' mental states during exercise.
Further improvements to the system are needed to fully overcome existing challenges.
This technology could lead to more effective, data-driven athlete training and guidance.
