  • Title: [Individual resistance to factors of monotony reflected in the EEG].
    Author: Kiroĭ VN, Aslanian EV.
    Journal: Zh Vyssh Nerv Deiat Im I P Pavlova; 2006; 56(1):38-46. PubMed ID: 16583675.
    Abstract:
    Three groups of operators substantially different in their performance quality were examined. Under conditions of monotonous activity, subjects with the highest initial level of activation, minimum EEG total spectral power, and minimum level of EEG coherence in the frontal cortical areas worked most steadily. Under the same conditions, subjects with a rather high spectral power of the theta and beta2 EEG frequency components, highest coherence in the frontal areas, and low coherence in the caudal areas of the cortex worked least steadily. EEG phenomena testify to a rather low level of activation of the frontal cortical areas associated with a facilitation of cortico-subcortical neuronal interactions and an attenuation of the operating neural streams. This results in a decrease in the level of any attention, its involuntary switching, and short-term loss of the control over the current performance.
