    A COMPARISON OF ATTENTION NETWORK IN YOGA PRACTITIONERS AND NON-YOGA PRACTITIONERS: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
    (SVYASA, 2018-10-13) Harsha Bora; Deepeshwar Singh
    Introduction - Lifestyle behaviors like physical activity, breathing practices play an important role in preventing cognitive declination and maintaining or helps in improving cognition functions like attention, perception, etc.. Aim & Objectives - The purpose of the study was to observe the impact of Yoga practices on Attention Network in young adults. The objective of the study was to compare the attention in yoga and non-yoga practitioners in the performance of attention network test. Method & Materials - Seventy healthy male and female young adult subjects with age range 18 to 25 years were recruited in this study, among which thirty five subjects were yoga practitioners (age mean ± SD;19.98 ± 1.48)with more than one year yoga experience. The remaining thirty-five were non-yoga practitioners (mean± SD; 19 ± 0.77). The yoga participants were recruited from a Yoga University in South India, whereas the non-yoga practitioners were selected from nearby medical college who never introduced to yoga. The demographic information of all participants were obtained and each participant performed a computerized Attention Network Test. This test was run by using Inquisit 4 software. Result - Yoga practitioners shows significant lower reaction time, correct response (p < 0.05), correct center cue (p < 0.01), correct double cue (p < 0.05), correct spatial cue (p < 0.01), correct congruent (p < 0.05), correct incongruent (p < 0.05). Conclusion –Yoga practices may facilitate attention related network, inhibition and control over the visual cues as presented in the current study. Also, the response time during the task was quicker and faster. The control group participants reported delayed performance in reaction time which suggest, control group participants took longer time in the attention network performance. Key Words – Yoga, Attention, Attention Network Test (ANT), Young adults.

    A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY OF PERFORMANCE ON MOTOR FREE VISUAL PERCEPTION TEST BY YOGA FEMALE STUDENTS AND NON YOGA FEMALE STUDENTS
    (SVYASA, 2018-10-09) SEULGI LEE; Deepeshwar Singh
    Introduction: Recent studies suggest that yoga practice may improve cognitive functioning. Although preliminary data indicate that yoga improves working memory (WM), high-resolution information about the type of WM subcontracts, namely maintenance and manipulation, is not available. Furthermore, the association between cognitive enhancement and improved mindfulness as a result of yoga practice requires empirical examination. The aim of the present study is to assess the impact of a brief yoga program on WM maintenance, WM manipulation and attentive mindfulness. Aim: The present study was intended to compare the performance on motor free visual perception in yoga female students and non-yoga female students. Methodology: Total Sixty healthy female studentes age range 18-28 years, Thirty yoga female (Raw score mean±SD; 38.56±3.26, Standard mean±SD; 104.03±11.24) and thirty non yoga female (score mean±SD; 32.76±3.96, Standard mean±SD 86.46±16.70)_fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria recruited for Motor visual perception test intervention. Participants were assessed for visual perception on using motor free visual perception test. Data Analysis: The raw data was tabulated and statistical analysis was done using SPSS version21.0. The data were checked for normality and independent sample t-test was employed to compare the means of both the groups. For all analysis we present 95 percent confidence intervals and considered p-value <0.05 as significant. Result: The results of the present study show that there is a significant difference in yoga group and c ontrol group. Conclusion: In the present study, we compared the long term effect of yoga on students yoga practitioners (more than 1 year experience) performance in motor free visual perception test with control group(who never exposed to yoga before) .The results suggests that yoga practice help to improve visual perception processing speed for correct stimuli\ task immediate attention with lowered attention time the generalizability of the study is still need further investigation using recent modern technology as such functional near infrared spectroscopy FNRS, electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging(FMRI).

    DIFFERENCES IN MOTOR FREE VISUAL PERCEPTION AMONG MALE YOUNG ADULTS: A CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY
    (SVYASA, 2018-10-09) SHASHI KANT DIXIT; Deepeshwar Singh
    Introduction: Attention is an important component in cognitive function. This involves visual perception, visual discrimination and visual memory while performance a neurocognitive task. There is two important component in visual perception i.e., visual acceptance and visual cognitive. Neuroimaging studies reported that these process involves the interaction between the frontal lobe and parietal lobe in the human brain. Recent studies suggest that yoga practice may improve cognitive functioning. Although preliminary data indicate that yoga improves working memory (WM), high-resolution information about the type of WM subcontracts, namely maintenance and manipulation, is not available. Furthermore, the association between cognitive enhancement and improved mindfulness as a result of yoga practice requires empirical examination. The aim of the present study is to assess the impact of a yoga practices in male adult students on their performance in motor free visual perception test. Aim: The present study was intended to compare the performance on motor free visual perception in yoga male students and non-yoga male students. Methodology: Total Sixty healthy male studentes age range 18-28 years, Thirty yoga male (Raw score mean±SD 38.56±3.26, Standard mean±SD 140.70±12.19) and thirty non yoga male (score mean±SD 32.36±4.64, Standard mean±SD 87.80±12.86) _fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria recruited for Motor visual perception test intervention. Participants were assessed for visual perception on using motor free visual perception test. viii Data Analysis: The raw data was tabulated and statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 21.0. The data were checked for normality and independent sample t-test was employed to compare the means of both the groups. For all analysis we present 95 percent confidence intervals and considered p-value <0.05 as significant. Result: The results of the present study showed that there was a significant difference in yoga group a nd control group. The results of yoga group participants showed higher strength in performin g visual perception test which does not require motor involvement while performing visual ta sks. Conclusion: In the present study, we compared the long term effect of yoga on students yoga practitioners (more than 1 year experience) performance in motor free visual perception test with control group(who never exposed to yoga before) .The results suggests that yoga practice help to improve visual perception processing speed for correct stimuli\ task immediate attention with lowered attention time the generalizability of the study is still need further investigation using recent modern technology as such functional near infrared spectroscopy fNIRS, electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI).

    Effect of yogic relaxation technique on reaction time
    (SVYASA, 2020) Lopamudra Naik
    Background: Human beings receive various types of stimuli in day to day life and respond to them accordingly. The time taken to receive a stimulus, it's processing and giving a response is different for every individual at minute level, in milliseconds. This time interval is called Reaction Time. Various Yogic practices are found to influence the RT of individuals. The objective of this study was to evaluate the immediate effect of deep relaxation technique which is a type of yogic relaxation technique on Auditory and Visual Reaction Time. Method: 115 healthy yoga students from SVYASA Yoga university, between the age group of 20 to 50 years were taken for the study. Pre and post measurements of auditory reaction time and visual reaction time was done. 10 minutes of pre-recorded DRT was given as intervention and immediately after that reaction times were measured. Result: Statistical analysis were carried out using JASP software. There was a significant decline in the ART and VRT observed in the Post DRT condition. Conclusion: The significant decrease in Auditory and Visual Reaction Time shows that DRT helps to increase the awareness and attention of students.
