[Reflection of the type and successfulness of the cognitive activity in the human EEG: application of nonlinear methods in psychophysiology].

The information processing by the human brain was studied in two types of cognitive activity: solving a visual-spatial task and a verbal task. One of the Wechsler tests represented a visual-spatial task, whereas a speed-reading was used as a verbal task. A correlation dimension calculated from the EEG time series, was shown to depend on individual capabilities. Subjects with a higher correlation dimension in frontal brain areas executed more successfully the spatial task.

[The indices of EEG spatial synchronization in normal 10- to 12-year-old schoolchildren and in learning difficulties].

10-12-year-old schoolchildren were divided into three groups: a normal one, a group with psychological problems, and a third one with medical problems. The EEG was recorded at resting and while reading a text. An obviously higher global spatial synchronisation was found in the normal group as compared with the "medical" one. In the "psychological" group, a diffuse hyperresponsiveness was found in the transition state from resting to activity. The above differences seem to be due to a morpho-functional immaturity and a functional insufficiency of two different portions of the brain ascending activating system. Evidently the "medical" group children have an immaturity of the bulbar and midbrain reticular formation, whereas the "psychological" group children have, probably, an immature diencephalic activating system (the thalamus).

[Dependence of human EEG spatial synchronization on the geomagnetic activity on the day of experiment].

Spontaneous EEG was registered under different activity conditions in 26 volunteers. The EEG synchronisation parameters were compared with the geomagnetic and solar activity on the day of experiment. A positive correlation of the EEG data with the geomagnetic activity was revealed, being most obvious in the frontal and central areas. A negative correlation between some local EEG synchronisation parameters and different indices of the solar activity, was also revealed. The degree of synchronisation of the spontaneous EEG seems to reflect sensitivity of the human nervous system to the Earth's magnetic field. A stressor response to strong short-term disturbances in the geomagnetic field reveals itself in the form of enhancement of the EEG global synchronisation. A sedative effect of slow magnetic oscillations is locally revealed in the parameters of the EEG synchronisation within the left hemisphere as well as the interhemisphere synchronisation.

[The effect of sex on the spatial synchronization of the EEG].

The data obtained shows that women are characterised by a significantly larger interindividual variations of the EEG synchronizing than men (except the synchronizing in the left hemisphere). The findings are supposed to be due to a higher level of unspecific cortical activation in men.

[The form of the spontaneous EEG waves under different conditions of mental activity].

Value of the average level of asymmetry of the EEG waves' fronts (ALA) was shown to decrease in posterior leads and increase in anterior leads during the transition from the rest to mental activity. An inter-hemisphere asymmetry of the ALA was found, the asymmetry having a similar direction for all the pairs of symmetrical leads. Two independent factors are supposed to affect the ALA: the level of the cortex activation and the specifics of information processing by the given hemisphere.

[The mean level of EEG wave asymmetry as a possible correlate of the property of lability of the cerebral hemispheres].

The human nervous system's lability was studied with the aid of critic fusion frequency (CFF). The CFF was compared with the mean level of asymmetry of the EEG waves' fronts (MLA). The CFF was shown to be a relatively stable individual parameter whose value depended on the value of difference between occipital and frontal areas' MLA and those in the lower frontal areas.

[The reflection of functional differences between the hemispheres in the form of the EEG waves].

The EEG was recorded in 3 symmetrical sites of the human brain with subsequent calculation of the parameter of mean level of asymmetry (MLA) in the EEG wave fronts. The MLAs were shown to change after functional loads of visual-spatial and verbal-logical types. The MLA seems to be an informative parameter of qualitative specifics of neural processes in the left and right hemispheres.

[The problem of the functional meaning of EEG indices and the principle of dominance].

CNV was studied from the Ukhtomsky dominant theory standpoint in subjects performing four different types of tasks. The CNV appears to have a complicated spatial-temporal organization and can be satisfactorily described with the aid of four relatively independent components differing from each other in their location, time of development and sensitivity to varying of monitored variables.
