This study aims to compare short-term memory and brain activity in university students while listening to music and the Quran.

The experiment consists of two phases after displaying the word "start" for 1.5 seconds. In the first phase, participants listen to the Quran while seven Chinese numerals are shown for 0.75 seconds each. The word "remember" is then displayed for one second. The second phase is similar to the first but without the word "start" and with instrumental music as the audio stimulus. Participants have two seconds to judge and respond by pressing the buzzer if the sequence was the same or remaining silent if it was not.
