N2 - The difficulty to understand meditation is the lack of exact methodology, replication of mind condition and depends on individual meditative practice. From these reasons, this research focuses on a relationship between meditation and EEG. The Quantitative EEG will be analyzed and observed in absolute power of each EEG rhythm. Coherence was also analyzed after participants practice meditation during binaural beat stimulation in both eyes-closed and opened four beat frequencies were selected, 5 Hz, 8Hz, 12Hz, and 18Hz respectively. The binaural beat stimulation will be classified into two groups which are pure beat and meta-music that combined binaural beat with other music. The result demonstrates that coherence is the significant index that shown the relationship between EEG and meditation. Theta and lower alpha absolute power also show the significant relationship which increase at frontal-midline. This research demonstrates that, coherence and absolute power are indices which can explain a meditation practice during binaural beat stimulation.
