This study investigates the intervention of Super Brain Yoga (SBY) towards improving Brainwave Balancing Index (BBI), Brainwave Dominance and Short Term Memory (STM). A group of 36 participants from UiTM Shah Alam, Malaysia perform the SBY exercise for 2 weeks with repetitions of 30 times twice a day. Electroencephalogram (EEG) recording is carried out to measure the BBI and Brainwave Dominance. In addition, a test on STM using digit span test is carried out before and after the SBY intervention. The result shows that BBI of the participants increases by 33% after practising SBY. Digit span test shows improvement of 33% for the forward test while increment of 42% for the backward test. The participants can remember more digit item especially on the backward test. © 2020 Author(s).
