Psychological Correction Of Young Specialists And Its Brain Correlates

Patterns of the electrical activity of the brain in the ultraslow bandpass were registered by two groups of young students of psychology, practically normal, urban dwellers. The registration, which took about 15 to 20 minutes in each case, was conducted twice, with eyes closed, first prior to passing a course of psychological correction, and second, right after it. The course was two week long, 1.5 hours a day. It comprised listening to either random sounds of nature (control group) or, to familiar music (main group). Two basic trends in dynamics of mean spectral power of signals were demonstrated for members of the main group: if the initial level of ultraslow activity was high, it tended to fall as a result of passing the course; if the initial level was low, it tended to rise. As a result, sort of 'fine tuning' of the activity of the brain took place, which was not the case of the control group. In terms of physiology, the overall functional state of members of the latter tended to pass moderate activation. As to the members of main group, their functional state passed more sophisticated tuning, depending on its initial level. Presence of such tuning, forming part of normal adaptive capacity. was corroborated by data of molecular biological survey. (C) 2019 Published by Future Academy www.FutureAcademy.org.UK
