Abstract

Based on the EEG signal analysis method of power spectrum and sample entropy, this paper analyzes the EEG signals of children with autism (ASD) after different cycles of training, and studies the effect of Chinese Zither performance training on the brain function of ASD children. Eight ASD children, with an average age of 13, were trained in zither performance for 4 months, and EEG signals were collected once a month. The results showed that the relative power of alpha frequency band increased after the training of Chinese Zither performance, and the occipital lobe was more obvious, and there was a gradual upward trend with the increase of training cycle; the relative power of theta band decreases, and the parietal lobe is more obvious, and has a gradual downward trend; the sample entropy is higher than that before training, showing a gradually increasing trend, and the complexity of the brain is also gradually increasing. It proves that Chinese Zither performance training has a positive impact on the brain function of ASD children, and Chinese Zither performance training may become a new direction of intervention and treatment of autism.
