Music intervention and mindfulness reduces the effect of mental fatigue
Mental fatigue is a psychobiological state caused by prolonged periods of demanding cognitive activity which results in slower reaction times and attention deficits. It affects the ability to focus and impacts the capacity to make optimal decisions during a given task. Mental fatigue is often responsible for accidents in traffic or the workplace and can lead to poor study efficiency. We know that mindfulness has been shown to have a positive effect on stress-coping and cognitive performance. There is also accumulating evidence suggesting that listening to binaural beats may increase sustained attention. Binaural beats are an auditory illusion which have been framed as a class of cognitive and neural entrainment (Kirk et al., 2019). Even though there are different tones of different frequencies (165Hz in the left and 179 Hz in the right) presented in each ear the participant will hear one tone, which is the amalgamated difference between the two tones (beta range of 14 Hz).
