[The lability of the human background alpha rhythm under functional loads].

Some characteristics of electroencephalographic reaction (alpha frequency, whole alpha range power spectrum and alpha index) have been studied. In the first series the indifferent single, rhythmic and complex stimuli were presented to the test subjects, in another series a conditioned motor reflex was elaborated, in the third series the test subjects rhythmically reproduced fixed temporal interval. It has been shown that the functional loads lead to higher alpha frequency. The alpha rhythm frequency was higher in subjects verbally underestimating and reproducing intervals with some delay than in ones overestimating intervals and reproducing them in advance. It has been suggested that alpha rhythm instability is due to reorganization processes in neuronal complexes of different lability.
