Abstract
*NST currently known as Mighty Integration Technology (MIT)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of NST(Neuro Sound Technology) training on the self-regulation ability and emotional disposition of elementary school students. The subjects of the experiment were 50 elementary school students in 4th, 5th, and 6th grades, and NST training was conducted three times a week. The period is from March 2022 to August 2022, and brain waves were measured to see the difference in self-regulation ability and emotional disposition before and after NST training. EEG measurements were performed using Neurobrain developed by the Korean Research Institute of Brain Science, and brain function analysis program(BFM) was used for EEG analysis. As a result of the independent sample t-test after post-measurement, the training mode was (t=2.665, p=.010), the maximum deviation was (t=-3.236, p=.002), and the emotional propensity difference was (t=-3.099, p=.004), showing positive changes in the significance probability value. Positive changes in self-regulation ability and emotional disposition suggest that NST training can induce self-directed learning by cultivating patience and improving attention and concentration in elementary school students.

Abstract
Abstract This study was designed to analyze the effects of brain wave training using Neuro Sound Technology (NST) on the sleep quality and emotional propensity of the elderly. From September 2022 to November 2022, an intervention was conducted on seniors aged 70 or older receiving day care at S Senior Welfare Center in U City. There were 40 participants (20 in the experimental group and 20 in the control group). The experimental group performed NST training twice a week for 30 minutes each, for a total of 30 times. Factor analysis pre and post intervention was compared through the Brain Function Analysis Report (BFA) and questionnaire (sleep pattern) developed by the Korea Neuroscience Research Institute, and significant differences were found in sleep quality and emotional propensity in the group that applied NST training. These results indicate that brain wave training through NST has a positive effect on the sleep quality and emotional propensity of the elderly. However, because the participants are limited to U City, it is difficult to generalize the research results, and expansion of the number of experimental participants is required.

Abstract
Abstract The increase in the population with dementia is emerging as a social problem. It is time to study preventive management measures. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of the neurofeedback program on the improvement of arousal of the elderly using the day/night care center. Neurofeedback training was conducted from July 5, 2021 to August 13, 2021, 5 times a week, for 30 minutes each training time, a total of 30 times. CIST(Cognitive Impairment Screening Test) was performed for objective target selection, and pre- and post-brain function tests were performed to derive objective indicators of neurofeedback training. As a result of the examination, there was a numerically improved or improved change in the overall level of arousal, and this can be used as useful data for improving the cognitive ability of the elderly who use home aged welfare facilities.

Abstract
Abstract Currently, Korea is on the verge of entering a super-aging society. As a result, the loss of expenses due to cognitive decline or dementia in older people is also emerging as a social problem. This study aims to investigate the effects of gamma wave training on arousal and stress in older people. For screening participants, a cognitive impairment screening test was performed. The subjects performed gamma wave training using neuro sound technology for 30 minutes, 5 times a week, for 6 weeks (a total of 30 times). Brain function measurement was conducted before and after the intervention. In conclusion, there were significant improvements in the level of arousal and mental stress, which is considered useful data for the elderly complaining of cognitive decline.

Abstract
PURPOSE The main purpose of this study is to analyze and clarify the effects of BCI neurofeedback to improve brain function in the elderly and the prospects for senile dementia.
METHOD From July 2019 to December 2019, 120 people were randomly selected from among the elderly attending the Senior Welfare Center located in I. J. T-dong, S city, and classified into an experimental group (60 people) and a control group (60 people) for analysis. In addition, in order to validate the analyzed research results, policy factors for the prospect of senile dementia were derived centered on 10 experts in the field of brain science. RESULT The research results are as follows. First, the cognitive function of the elderly before and after neurofeedback training showed high levels of dominance frequency (left p<.01, right p<.05) and alertness(left p<.001, right p<.01), which are the criteria for basic rhythm. Second, physical stress (left p<.001, right p<.001) and mental stress (left p<.001, right p<.001) were high before and after neurofeedback training. Third, brain efficiency before and after neurofeedback training was found to be high only in left-right synchronization (p<.001). CONCLUSION BCI Neurofeedback application training has an effect on the improvement of brain function in the elderly.
