Objective: To study the effect of hand tapping on the synchronization of the alpha rhythm in healthy adults. Materials and Methods: The study included 51 clinically healthy volunteers of working age. Results: We have shown that under the influence of wrist tapping in a state of sensory deprivation in healthy adults there is a statistically significant change in the peak frequency (p = 0.0006) and peak power of the alpha rhythm (p = 0.0003), but the width of the peak plateau remains unchanged (p = 0.2). This effect of wrist tapping indicates the potential for clinical use in JME, since it was previously shown that if the selected external frequencies enter into resonance with the neurons of the antiepileptic system, then an antiepileptic effect can be obtained.
