由腦α波所定義的兩種氣功態

Two Qigong States with α Wave Characteristics

我們測量了氣功師父在練氣時腦α波幅之變化，由此發現了兩種不同的氣功態。第一種狀態腦α波之尖峰功率大幅降低，我們定義為「入定態」。第二種狀態剛好相反，腦α波之尖峰功率大幅增加，定義為「共振態」。另外從實驗數據推論：中國傳統道家在開始練功時是處在「共振態」，但是在練到高深境界以後，進入「入定態」，而佛教禪宗的「坐禪」則從修練開始就在練「入定態」。

This paper describe experiments to measure α brain wave variations in indiviauals performing qigong. The findings show variations between two states traditionally called quiescence (ru ding) and risonance (gong zhen). In the state of quiescence, the peak power of α brain waves is significantly reduced, while in that of resonancy, α brain waves are significantly reduced. The experiment also showed that Taoist qigong induces the state of resonance, although at a higher level of training it reaches the state of quiescence, which Zen practice aims to attain from the beginning.
