Exploring EEG Changes After Dance Classes: Immediate and Long-Term Effects on Balance

This study investigates the impact of dance classes on resting EEG patterns in individuals, aiming to determine if changes occur after one session and after 6-12 weeks of dancing. We hypothesize that these EEG changes will correlate with improvements in overt behavioral measures, such as balance. Subjects will relax with eyes closed while EEG recordings are taken pre- and post-dance sessions. By comparing the results to age-matched controls and existing studies on medication effects, we aim to deepen our understanding of the neurological benefits of dance.

  1. Dance for PD: Short and long term changes in resting eeg Gabriella levkov

  2. Research question(s) • Will changes in resting EEG occur after a single dance class? • Will changes in resting EEG occur after 6-12 dance classes? • How do these changes correlate with overt behavioral changes, such as balance? (Far stretch)

  3. Hypotheses • Changes in resting EEG will parallel… • Comparisons to age-matched controls • Comparisons to changes observed in ON/OFF levodopa studies

  4. methods • Subjects will be asked to keep their eyes closed while seating comfortably (chin rest optional) • Resting EEG will be recorded for 5 minutes (Moazami-Goudarzi et al. 2008; Babiloni et al. 2011) • Recordings will take place at two instances • Before and after a SINGLE dance class • Before and after 6-12 weeks of dance
