[The resonance EEG reactions in rhythmical photostimulation and the changes in functional status].

Changes in EEG fine structure in the occipital areas, heart rate, and breath pattern were recorded in 10 male volunteers under photic stimulation with slowly varying frequency in the range of lower or higher EEG alpha-subbands. Self-ratings (on the scale SAN-self-assessment of state of health, activity, and mood) of the functional state, general activity, and mood were obtained before and after stimulation. EEG effects of such photostimulation were represented by the resonance EEG responses of discrete spectral EEG components, frequencies of which periodically coincided with varying rate of flashes.

[The circadian phototherapy of bronchial asthma].

The authors provide validation and technique of circadian phototherapy of bronchial asthma. Therapeutic effect of the method occurs because of correction of internal asynchronism, stimulation of endogenic synthesis of corticosteroids, antidepressive action.
