Abstract

This thesis investigates the nuanced differences in brain activity between genders during the execution of varied tasks. Utilizing electroencephalography (EEG), we closely analyzed the cognitive processes of male and female subjects across a range of activities. Our findings revealed distinct patterns of brain activity between genders, reflective of the differing anatomical structures and neural pathways in male and female brains. Notably, our research demonstrates that these differences do not confer cognitive superiority to one gender over the other. Instead, they highlight diverse cognitive strategies emanating from gender-related anatomical differences. The exploration of these disparities can greatly enhance our understanding of the human brain and help foster strategies for personalized learning and therapeutic approaches. Future research should continue to investigate these differences in a larger and more diverse population, providing even more comprehensive insights into the intricate interplay of gender, brain anatomy, and cognitive function.
