Abstract

This research aims to study the difference of mean electroencephalograph (EEG), Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), Blood pressure (BP) and Pulse between before and after Salat practices, and also between male and female. In this research, 20 participants were selected (10 males and 10 females) who are strongly familiar with Salat practices. The results are, firstly the difference of mean gamma and beta EEG power between before and after Salat practices were statistically significant ( ). In addition the difference of mean EEG between males and females are significant difference ( ). Secondly, according to the graph the rate of GSR after Salat practice lower than before Salat practice and the difference of mean BP and Pulse between before and after Salat practices is not significant. Moreover, the mean of BP between male and female are significant difference( ) in Systolic BP, but it does not find the difference in Diastolic BP and Pulse. Such results are important and lead the researcher to study other forms of meditation.
