    Journal: Kosm Biol Aviakosm Med; 1975; 9(6):61-5. PubMed ID: 1207027.
    Abstract:
    By psychophysiological methods the effect of intensive photostimulation on the functional state of the optic analyzer and the influence of extreme optic stimulus on the hearing function were studied. An impulse acoustic stimulus contributed to the recovery of peripheral light sensitivity, left unchanged the central light sensitivity, improved acuity of color distinction, expanded the field of vision of red and green colors and reduced electric sensitivity and critical frequency of disappearance of light flashes. After an exposure to a superbright flash a decrease of absolute thresholds of hearing, electric sensitivity and critical frequency of fusion of electric stimulation of the acoustic analyzer was detected. These data give evidence that sensitivity of one analyzer can be increased by means of short-term intensive stimulation of the other.
