:
•
"Qigong"
is
a Chinese
system of breath control.
The terms "Rujing",
"Baihuichuqi",
"Chutu",
"Faqi",
"Fazi",
"Shouxiadantian",
"Bihuan" and
"Anjingbiyaw" apparently refer to specific exercises within the Qigong
system,
each of which has
a corresponding mental
state.
The only one of
these
I could
find anything about
is
Shouxiadantian,
which involves
breathing deeply
from the abdomen.
Translated
literally,
"Rujing" means
"entering quiet",
"Baihuichuqi" may mean
"a hundred assemble and exhale”,
"Chutu" may mean
"exhale patterns",
"Faqi" may mean "generate breath",
"Fazi" may means "generate words",
"Shouxiadantian"
is
literally "guard
the public domain",
"Bihuan" means
"close
the ring",
and
"Anj ingbiyan"
is
literally "peace
V'/ith
eyes
shut".

The human brain
is
regarded
as
a
great
system,
having many kinds
of
functional
states.
The Qigong functional
state may be
a distinctive state
among these.
The use of various technical procedures
to analyze the functional
states of the human brain,
and especially of the Qigong functional
state,
is
of great
significance
for understanding the physiological mechanism of
Qigong and
for developing uniform research of the physiology of the human
brain.
In recent years,
more and more
interest has been developed
in physiological
research of Qigong:
in particular,
it was
the discovery of a series
of extra-
ordinary abilities of the human body which
led
to
investigation of this area
of science.
There
are also people abroad who pay attention
to
and research
some of the special
states
of the brain,
for example,
the state of hypnosis,
twilight
sleep,
reverie,
fringe of consciousness,
preconscious
state,
off-
conscious
state,
transliminal
exponence,
etc.
There has
also been much attention
paid
in recent
years
to research
into biofeedback which
is related
to
this.
What
is still
lacking,
however,
is thorough
study of neurophysiology.
We shall
try
to use brain function measuring technology to conduct brain-
wave
analysis
of the Qigong functional
state and study the place
and
function
of the human brain
in
the extraordinary abilities
of the human body.
Method
We made brainwave recordings
for six test subjects
(No.
1-6)
who had
the Qigong function.
See Table
for the Qigong training and testing conditions
of the
six subjects.

In order
to reduce
interference with the test
subjects'
Qigong
state,
the number of electrodes
was
reduced
as much
as possible,
and based
on
the
experience of this
laboratory,
we recorded the frontal
zone
(Fz)
and occipital
zone
(Oz)
single-electrode brain waves.
The time
constant
of the
system
enlarged by bioelectricity
is
0.3
sec,
and the high frequency wave filters
are
30 Hz
(No.

and 60

(No.

stored
on
a magnetic
tape,
go through
a modular transformation
system,
and
power spectrum analysis
is performed
on
a general -purpose digital
computer.
There are
256
sampling points
for each
second.
There
are
two procedures.
In one procedure,
the
time
of
the sample
is
sec,
the average power spectrum
of
samples
(16
sec)
is
taken,
and the frequency resolution
is 0.5
Hz/sec.
In the other procedure,
the sample
time
is
sec,
and consecutive calculations
continue
for
sec,
forming
a power spectrum series
chart.
The frequency
resolution
is
Hz/sec.
The total calculated power spectrum
is
1113.
The
test
is
divided
into two
groups:
in the first
group,
subjects Nos.
1,
2,
3 and
4 are tested,
with one repetition.
In the second
group,
test
subjects
Nos.
5 and
are
tested.
Results
1.
In the Qigong functional
state,
we
find
in the frontal
zone
of the
cerebrum the alpha dominance peak where energy
is concentrated.
Here
the
frontal
zone-occipital
zone relationship
is
reversed.

At
the time
of
such Qigong activities
as
Rujing,
Shouxiadantian,
Faqi,
Baihuichuqi ,
etc.,
the brain wave forms
are
fairly
similar,
all
displaying
predominant
wave peaks of relatively concentrated energy
in the alpha segment
of the frontal
zone brain power spectrum.
The upper
left part
of Figure
is
a composite
of the
four
types
of frontal brain wave power spectra for
the Qigong state,
for the four test
subjects
of the
first group.
There
is
an obvious prominence
of
a
sharp peak
in the alpha
segment,
while the other
frequency segments do not have any marked wave peaks.
In contrast,
in
the
composite of the occipital power spectra shown
in
the upper right portion
of Figure
1,
the wave peaks are obviously dispersed.
The brain wave observations
described above
are clearly the opposite
of the brain waves
of the normal
person.
For the
sake of comparison,
we
calculated the brain wave power spectra of these
test
subjects
for the Anjingbiyan
state,
as shown
in the bottom of Figure
1.
Although when the Qigong master
closes
his
eyes,
he can easily enter
the Rujing
state.
From the figure
we
can
still
see
the distinction between the
two:
namely,
at
the time
of Anjingbiyan,
in the occipital
zone there
is
a concentration of energy
in
the alpha segment,
while
in the
frontal
zone
it
is relatively dispersed;
thus,
it.
has
an inverse
relationship with
the brain waves
in the Qigong
state.
In the individual
person's brain wave power spectrum,
too,
we
can
see
a typical
example
of
this kind of frontal
zone-occipital
zone brain wave
inverse relationship.
As
in
the top of Figure
2,
in
test
subject
No.
T s Anjingbiyan
(left)
and
Qigong states
(center,
right),
the
frontal-occipital brain wave relationships
are completely reversed.
At
the bottom of Figure
is
said test
subject's
original brain
graph.
At
the time
of Anjingbiyan,
the occipital
alpha waves
are dominant;
at
the
time of Rujing,
the frontal alpha waves
are dominant.
The
inverse relationship between frontal
and occipital
can be
seen very clearly
with the naked
eye.
