Cardio-vascular system holds the first place among the causes of the general population mortality in the Russian Federation. In the Penza region, the Regional Vascular Center works in the frames of the federal program to improve the care of patients with vascular diseases. Since the center started out, new methods to treat the disease treatment (e.

This work analyzes data from recordings of (occipital and temporal) cortical evoked potentials (called evoked potentials of differentiation (EPD) occurring in humans in response to an abrupt substitution of stimuli. As stimuli we used three groups of words: the names of the ten basic colors taken from Newton's color circle; the names of seven basic emotions forming Shlossberg's circle of emotions; and seven nonsense words comprised of random combinations of letters. Within each group of word stimuli we constructed a matrix of the differences between the amplitudes of mid-latency components of EPD for each pair of words.

This study researches the input of the cerebral occipital and temporal cortex in the analysis of facial configuration and expressive characteristics. Analysis is based on the construction of a spherical model for the differentiation of schematically presented faces with quantitatively altering curvature of the mouth and brows. The model is designed using the method of multidimensional scaling of the dissimilarity judgments between stimuli (faces) and the amplitude of evoked potentials of differences (EPD) between abrupt stimulus changes recorded from the occipital and posterior temporal cortex.

A geometric model in proposed based on subjective dissimilarity estimates among differently oriented line segments in the frontal plane and on visual evoked potentials (VEP) recorded in respond to abrupt changes in the orientation of such a line segment. The orientations are represented by points constituting a clised planar curve, with interpoint distances corresponding to interstimulus dissimilarities. The angle of the radius-vertor connecting the center of the configuration with its circumference encodes the orientation of the line stimuli in the visual field, and two Cartesian axes drawn through the center are interpreted as two orientation-opponent channels in the neuronal network processing line orientation.

The relationship between visual evoked potentials resulting from substitution of one image of a human "face diagram" for another and assessment of perceived differences between the emotional expressions of these faces were studied. Emotions were altered by changing the curvature of the mouth and/or the slope of the brows. Unlike the traditional approach, in which visual evoked potentials are recorded in response to presentation of a single stimulus bearing a face image, visual evoked potentials in the present study were recorded as the response to instantaneous substitution of a reference stimulus with a test stimulus, and thus represented the direct response to the difference between the stimuli.
