Abstract
This study explores the relationship between positive emotions by measuring electroencephalograms (EEGs) and flow experience of regular tai chi practitioners. The correlation between positive emotions and flow experience as detailed by questionnaire responses was statistically significant in experts, while in beginners, it was not significant. A two-year longitudinal study was continued for the same subjects to measure positive emotions by EEGs. The intercept was high in the baseline and no variance in experts was seen during the two years. However, the intercept was low in the baseline and variance in beginners was statistically significant during the same periods.
