[Adaptive regulation of cerebral biopotentials (alpha-rhythm) in neurotic patients].

With the aid of a feedback towards an increase in the EEG intensity, adaptive regulation of brain biopotentials (alpha-rhythm) was conducted in 22 patients with different forms of neurosis. It was established that in patients with an initial low level of alpha-rhythm its regulation was more significant, while in patients with an initially middle level of alpha-rhythms in the EEG, its regulation was less expressed. The clinical effect of regulation in all cases was positive. The study also demonstrated a crosscorrelation of connections in the process of regulation between such functions as alpha-rhythm-EMG, alpha-rhythm-SGR, etc. It is suggested that, regulation of alpha-rhythms can be accepted as a therapeutic approach in the treatment of patients with neuroses.
