Abstract

The aim of this study is brain mapping of cognitive empathy in neuroleadership using quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG). The research method is based on the interpretation of two different phases of the brain map of participants from the community of managers with a history of leading groups of at least 5-10 years and a maximum of 20-30 years of experience. The samples were examined in order to examine the capabilities of neuroleadership and using the software (NeuroGuide) version 2018, and the differences between the two phases in the participants were analyzed and interpreted. In the 1st phase, only the waves were recorded, and the 2nd phase, with an interval of 4 months, was subjected to cognitive exercises and focused on the investigation of the empathy component, especially in the brain cortex, considering the scarf model, clinical interview and two-stage interpretation at the counseling center of the University of Tehran and cognitive verification. It was done in 12 participants as a statistical sample in 2022-2023. Positive empathy predicted increased activation of left dorsal (frontal pole) (P<0.05). Positive emotions and empathy (negative and positive) of participants have shown activity changes to perform a pleasurable task. With transform (FFT) signal processing and analysis have been used to calculate Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) as well as its inverse fully known as Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT). The findings of this study show a direct relationship between semantic processing, functions and leadership in empathy according to the interpretation of brain maps.
