[The electroencephalographic and autonomic correlates of the mental reproduction of emotional states].

The present study is devoted to the analysis of changes of bioelectrical and vegetative indices at mental reproduction of emotional states by man. Analysis is conducted of the data of mapping of intracortical interactions depending on the dynamics of R-R interval changes. Two stages of mental reproduction of emotions are revealed which are characterized by the presence of different centers of integration--in the frontal and temporal parts of the brain cortex. It is shown that at maximum emotional stress the integration center shifts from the frontal regions to the temporal region of the left hemisphere.
