The present study was designed to examine the effect of breathing control on EEG-α wave. Sixteen healthy college students participated three breathing conditions in which they inhaled slowly and exhaled quickly (10 sec inhalation and 2 sec exhalation: 5:1), spent equal amount of time inhaling and exhaling (6 sec inhalation and exhalation each: 1:1), and inhaled quickly and exhaled slowly (2 sec inhalation and 10 sec exhalation: 1:5). Although the power of EEG-α2 (10-13 Hz) at Pz site increased (p<.05), no significant difference among the breathing condition was observed during trial (breathing control) period. In comparison between baseline (quiet rest) and trial period, the 1:5 breathing condition showed a tendency of the increase in EEG-α power at Fz site (p<.1). Results suggested that slowing the breathing rate may be associated with the increase in EEG-α power, but not for altering the breathing pattern.
