摘要

In this paper, electroencephalogram (EEG) data are collected respectively for shy and non-shy subjects, totally 28 individuals selected from 400 university students using the 13-item revised shyness scale. The AR model method is applied to estimate the spectrum of those EEGs data. The results show that the average energy of the beta2 band (20-30 Hz) in temporal lobe (T8) electrode for shy subjects is significant lower than that that for non-shy subjects. Based on the general emotional pathway of the central nervous system, possible neurophysiological mechanism is discussed. This primary work implies that shyness is of specific physiological basis and can be investigated by EEG.
