Edible coconut oil and a synergistic blend of edible coconut oil and essential oils (bergamot, rosemary and lavender oil) showed a significant improvement in the performance of the alpha wave frequency band, which means a relaxation benefit. We will go into detail about the conduct of the study and its results.

Unsupervised machine learning methods to understand relaxation effect of fragrances through EEG technique / Chinmay Mhaskar in SOFW JOURNAL, Vol. 147, N° 9 (09/2021)  

[article]  inSOFW JOURNAL > Vol. 147, N° 9 (09/2021) . - p. 42-51 Titre : Unsupervised machine learning methods to understand relaxation effect of fragrances through EEG technique Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Chinmay Mhaskar, Auteur ; Vaibhav Kaushik, Auteur ; Archana Arjula, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : p. 42-51 Note générale : Bibliogr. Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Aromathérapie Huiles essentielles Parfums Relaxation Index. décimale : 668.5 Parfums et cosmétiques Résumé : Objective: The objective was :1) To validate relaxation effects of fragrances proposed in the previous work using Unsupervised Machine Learning methods (USL). 2) To compare and quantify the relaxation potential of fragrances by establishing a criterion (metric). Methods : K-Means and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were the employed USL methods. The data was a result of administering 4 essential oil fragrances (ALO (control), ECO, Lavender and AROMA) to 50 participants. PCA aided the characterisation of fragrances as function of 8 waves based on the relaxation induced. Results : The result from the previous work i.e. aromatherapy induced higher relaxation and, Alpha waves were good indicators of relaxation, was validated by K-Means. Higher Alpha wave intensity was associated with fragrance administration. Principal waves for olfactory stimulation were identified as Alpha, Beta and Theta. PCA analysis showed AROMA and Lavender fragrances had higher relaxation potential compared to the other fragrances. Weighted PCA showed the difference in the degree of relaxation for the administered fragrances. Conclusion : We concluded that Aromatherapy fragrance (a synergistic blend of relaxing essential oils) resulted in higher relaxed mental states. This was achieved by employing USL techniques as comparison and validation metrics for the previous study. Also, USL techniques were used to propose a methodology to understand and characterise EEG sensory data variability (subject-to-subject variability). The Relaxation Potential Metric successfully compared the degree of relaxation induced by olfactory stimuli. The significance of the proposed methodology is: 1) It can be used as tool to analyse brain wave data from sensory stimulus/stimuli for better comparison and characterisation and 2) It can be employed to engineer products which are more consumer-centric in nature.
