Each brainwave has its own significance and an impact on their behavior and henceforth it will also affect the sportsmen’s performance. We are using this principal of measurement of brainwave patterns of sportsmen and analyze them to find out the dominant brainwave pattern when a sportsman is giving his best performance and also the worst performance so as to incorporate this into their rehabilitation program to physically and psychologically train the sportsmen to give his best performance every time.
