CHANGES IN THE ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM AND DERMA-GALVANIC REACTIONS IN THE PROCESS OF FORMATION OF TENTATIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MOTORIAL AND VISUAL ANALYZERS IN HUMANS,

Abstract

A pairing was made of the kinesthesic and photic stimulations in man with a view to forming a temporary connection between the motor and visual analysers. Proprioceptive stimulation was achieved by the movement of the muscles, provoked by stimulation of the ulnar nerve through the skin by threshold impulses of a rectangular current not accompanied by tactile effect. After several pairings of the stimuli a conditioned EEG response was elaborated: the movements of the muscles resulted in the same depression of the alpha-rhythm in the occipital area as the photic stimulations paired with them. The dynamics of EEG and SGR changes in the course of formation of such a reaction is characterized by a number of regularities inherent in temporary connections between exteroceptive stimuli.
