Abstract

The present study explained the issue of decision-making under the influence of the coherence of brain waves and heart waves based on each of the components of emotional intelligence of Mayer and Salovey, how the coherence of EEG and ECG is based on neuroscience and neurocardiology, and the decision-making styles of managers based on based on Scott and Bruce's model and presented its results. The sample of the present study was 30 managers of governmental and non-governmental organizations in the agricultural sector of Gilan province who voluntarily participated in this research and in two situations of relaxation and decision-making with Neurofeedback tool, Biofeedback Procomp 2 while running the CGT decision evaluation test of CANTAB software, brain waves and their heart waves were simultaneously recorded from the CZ area of the brain and the areas around the heart by Biograph version 6 software. The results showed the coherence of EEG and ECG waves. During rest and recognition tasks There were significant differences in different decision-making styles and emotional intelligence components, and none of the decision-making styles had a significant correlation between brain waves and heart waves in two states of relaxation and decision making.
