在這研究中，提出腦波量測位置與針刺激之穴道在同一經絡上，利用這樣的一個量測方式，能夠更直接且準確地偵測到針灸影響腦波的證據。共有24位自願者參與本研究，隨機分配成針灸組（12人）與假針組（12人），每位受測者皆沒有臟器或神經方面疾病。在針灸組，先讓受測者平躺閉眼量測腦波10分鐘後，針刺左手外關穴（TE5），扎針時間為20分鐘，拔針後繼續量測5分鐘。假針組，也是讓受測者平躺10分鐘後扎針，扎針位置在左手非穴道上，扎針時間同針灸組相同為20分鐘，拔針後繼續量測5分鐘。腦波量測點皆為T3、T4、O1、O2點。扎針時，採不撚針的方式進行實驗。依頻率我們使用連續小波轉換分析，將腦波分成δ（0.5∼4HZ）、θ（4∼8HZ）、α（8∼13HZ）、β（13∼30HZ），θ波能量比扎針前能量高且有統計差異，T3、T4、O1、O2皆有，拔針後T3與T4能量比拔針前下降且有統計差異。α波在全部的量測點中只有在T3點有統計差異，能量比扎針前高，過了約5分鐘後能量隨即也下降統計上沒有差異。由研究的結果，我們認為這樣的研究方法是可行的，我們也可以確定針灸是可以改變腦波的，且針灸的刺激可能改變了頭骨與頭皮的電位讓腦波訊號能通過而被腦波儀偵測到。

This paper presents the evident effects of acupunctural point stimulation, using electroencephalography(EEG) measurements. With acupuncture stimulation and the EEG measurement on the same meridian, EEG is able to accurately detect the effects of acupoint stimulation on brain waves. In our study, 24 subjects without heart or nervous diseases were randomly separated into two groups of 12. In the first group, the subjects laid on a bed with eyes closed for 10 minutes. They then received acupuncture at their waiguan points（TE5）on their left hands for 20 minutes. After plucked the fine point, they were observed after a five-minute pause. The other 12 subjects belonged to the sham group. They followed the same procedures as the acupuncture group, but the needle was instead inserted at non-acupoints in their left hands. The electrode located on EEG waves were presented as: T3, T4, 01, 02. The study did not adopt needle twirling to develop our experiments. According to our adopted continuous wavelet transform analysis, the brain waves are identified as: δ(0.5~4HZ), θ(4~8HZ), α(8~13HZ) and β(13~30HZ). During acupuncture stimulation, the θ wave’s energy increased more at all statistical points than before. Upon removing the needle, T3 and T4 points slowly declined and revealed the obvious differences in energy levels between rest and exposure to acupuncture. During acupuncture, only T3 on the α wave showed small statistical energy variations, but levels began decreasing after the first five minutes. Using EEG readouts gathered during our research, we prove that acupuncture affects brain waves and that the stimulation changes based on the potential of the cranium and scalp tissue.
