The purpose of this study is to explore the differences in brain activity in various types of throwing games by making encephalographic records. Three conditions of throwing games were compared looking for significant differences (simple throwing, throwing to a goal, and simultaneous throwing with another player). After signal processing, power spectral densities were compared through variance analysis ( ≤ 0.001). Significant differences were found especially in high-beta oscillations (22-30 Hz). "Goal" and "Simultaneous" throwing conditions show significantly higher values than those shown for throws without opponent. This can be explained by the higher demand for motor control and the higher arousal in competition situations. On the other hand, the high-beta records of the "Goal" condition are significantly higher than those of the "Simultaneous" throwing, which could be understood from the association of the beta waves with decision-making processes. These results support the difference in brain activity during similar games. This has several implications: opening up a path to study the effects of each specific game on brain activity and calling into question the transfer of research findings on animal play to all types of human play.
本研究旨在通过脑电图记录探讨不同投掷游戏中大脑活动的差异。比较了三种投掷游戏条件,寻找显著差异(简单投掷、向目标投掷和与另一名玩家同时投掷)。经过信号处理后,通过方差分析比较了功率谱密度(≤0.001)。在高β振荡(22-30 Hz)中发现了显著差异。“目标”和“同时”投掷条件显示的数值明显高于无对手投掷的数值。这可以通过更高的运动控制需求和竞争情况下更高的唤醒来解释。另一方面,“目标”条件的高β记录明显高于“同时”投掷的记录,这可以从β波与决策过程的关联中得到解释。这些结果支持了相似游戏中大脑活动的差异。这有几个含义:为研究每种特定游戏对大脑活动的影响开辟了道路,并质疑将动物游戏的研究结果推广到所有类型的人类游戏的合理性。
