[INTERHEMISPHERIC DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ENCEPHALOGRAPHY ALPHA SPECTRAL POWER INDICES DURING BICYCLE ERGOMETRY].

The EEG recording from 30 supine volunterrs during bicycle ergometry with the load growing incrementally to a submaximal heart rate was made in order to study alpha spectra and their interhemispheric differences. Comparative analysis of EEG records demonstrated a statistical gain of the alpha-power in both hemispheres at the final step of aerobic work and throughout the period of recovery with power reaching the highest values in the left hemisphere. Analysis of interhemispheric differences points to activation of the right hemisphere over the whole period of the investigation.

[EFFECT OF VOLUNTARY BREATH-HOLDING AND COGNITIVE LOADS ON REGIONAL CEREBRAL BLOOD FLOW AND BIOELECTRIC ACTIVITY OF THE BRAIN].

Cerebral blood flow and bioelectric activity were studied in 10 normal volunteers in order to assess cerebrovascular reactivity during different types of functional testing. The transcranial Doppler was used to measure linear blood velocity (LBV) in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) during maximal voluntary breath-holding (apnea), controlled verbal association test and tactile memory test. Simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG) registered the bioelectric activity of the brain cortex.
