At the present moment there are no unified data about adequate methods of diagnostics and study of this type of stress and its consequences. However, control of psycho-emotional state of students and its timely prevention can allow to reduce the risk of psycho-emotional disorders.</p>
<p>Objective. To study and analyze correlation between sensorimotor parameters of attention deflection tasks and peculiarities of bioelectrical activity of frontal brain areas of students in different periods of study. Study of peculiarities of autonomous regulation in anxious subjects during intersession and exam periods.</p>
<p>Materials and methods. Two stages of the study were conducted: pre-examinations and examinations. We examined psychometric data using Spielberger-Hanin questionnaire (personal and situational anxiety), cognitive task with the dot-probe test, specific features of alpha rhythm power in EEG recordings of frontal leads, salivary cortisol level, and heart rate variability.</p>
<p>Results. The study showed average and high levels of situational and personal anxiety, typical for students in the first years of study, which was reflected in peculiarities of their emotional attention, bioelectrical activity of the brain, and changes in vegetative parameters. During the examination period, a high tone of sympathetic regulation was observed in all study participants, but the predicted increase in cortisol levels in saliva was observed only in the study participants who passed the exam "successfully," and the opposite pattern was observed for "unsuccessful" students.</p>
<p>Conclusion. Thus, the frontal asymmetry of the bioelectrical activity of the brain, vegetative and hormonal status can be used as markers of the manifestation of psycho-emotional stress.</p>Attention shiftsfrontal asymmetrystressHRVcortisolСмещение вниманияфронтальная асимметриястрессВСРкортизол[Матюшкина Е.Я.
