Cybernetics and consciousness.

This paper is a review of hypotheses of consciousness which arose from application of the theory of information and regulation and the cybernetic theory of mathematical machines in medicine. The author presents these hypotheses on the examples of his own works.

[Numeric description of circadian rhythm of TSH in patients with cold tumors of the thyroid gland before and after surgery].

Circadian rhythm of TSH was analyzed in patients with cold tumors of the thyroid before and after surgical removal of the tumors and in control subjects. By using special computer program BIOR based on harmonic and regression analysis, designed for verifying and comparing various biorhythms, significant differences were found between TSH biorhythms in patients with cold thyroid tumors before and after the operation.

[Importance of EEG studies in the assessment of hearing and equilibrium disorders of central origin].

In a group of 52 patients with hearing and equilibrium disturbances of central origin EEG was done. The obtained EEG findings were correlated with: a) main clinical manifestations of the type of function loss or stimulation, and b) disturbances of behavioural perception, that is specific signs of disturbed perception and non-specific extraperceptive signs. Disturbed hearing, independently of the side of lesion, was accompanied by focal disturbances of electrogenesis in left temporal leads. Vertigo was associated as a rule with focal pathological changes in parieto-occipital leads bilaterally, prevailing in the right-side leads. The pattern of labyrinthine (static) behavioural disturbances was, as a rule, more rich than that of hearing behaviour disturbances. The differences observed in clinical pattern were explained as due to differences in the neurophysiological properties of the temporal and parieto-occipital cortex. Conclusions were based on the hypothesis of minimal brain damage and dipolar organization of the pathological bioelectric function of the brain. Electroencephalography provides objective data which can be used in the diagnosis of diseases affecting the organs of hearing and equilibrium.
