The cognitive regions included memory, attention, spatial-visual ability, and language. VCI became a significant challenge in the health sector worldwide. VCI problems commonly occurred in developed countries and started to emerge in developing countries. In 2013, there were 1 million VCI sufferers in Indonesia, and it is expected to double by 2030. Common causes of VCI are blood vessel disorders such as stroke, diabetes, brain injury, and high blood pressure. Neuro-feedback (NF) therapy can improve the quality of EEG of VCI patients. This study used quantitative (qEEG) parameters to differentiate between normal and VCI subjects as well as to quantify the EEG signal improvements before and after NF therapy by sound waves. The quantitative parameters used in this study included power parameters, wave duration, and percentage of each frequency band of EEG signals. EEG signals were collected from 25 normal subjects and 12 subjects diagnosed with VCI. Results showed the difference in absolute power and relative power between normal and VCI subjects. Normal subjects’ dominant frequency was in alpha band with average percentage of 50.4% while for VCI subjects dominant frequency was in delta band with an average percentage of73%. After each NF therapy session of VCI subjects by sound wave, there was an increase of alpha-band frequency by an average of 1.2%. In addition, decay occurs in delta band frequency by an average of 3.1%. There was no significant change in the wave duration during therapy. In conclusion, qEEG parameters can be used to differentiate between normal and VCI subjects, especially the EEG power parameters.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]qEEG,Soundwave Therapy,Vascular Cognitive Impairment[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This work was supported by Beasiswa Unggulan Ministry of Education and Culture of Indonesia.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5139374[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
