This study has investigated brain behavior and dynamic neural activity during Raven's Advance Progressive Matrices (RAPM), which requires strong cognitive reasoning to select a solution, by using an electroencephalogram (EEG). The EEGs were recorded all over the scalps of eight healthy volunteers using the 128-channel Hydro-Cel Geodesic (EGI Inc.) system. Brain activation was dominant during the reasoning and problem solving process in the pre-frontal lobe and parietal lobe as compared to the baseline conditions in all of the subjects, consistently. The theta band (3.5-7.5Hz) was significantly (p<0.025) higher during the reasoning process at the frontal lobe as compared to eye-closed and eye-open conditions. Results showed high frontal theta activity in problem solving, which requires substantial reasoning and thinking skills. © 2014 IEEE. SN - 9781479946549 AV - none PB - IEEE Computer Society ER -
