This study quantifies cortical information processing in bits and processing speed in bits/sec, enabling algebraic expression of cognitive ability. It also measures emotional tension using physiological responses to assess and predict psychic states.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychophysiology
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Understanding the quantitative aspects of cortical information processing is crucial for cognitive science.
  • Objective measurement of emotional tension is needed for accurate psychological assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a quantitative framework for information processing in the brain.
  • To develop a method for objectively measuring emotional tension.
  • To assess the utility of these measures for monitoring space station personnel.

Main Methods:

  • Information quantity measured in bits; processing speed in bits/sec.
  • Emotional tension objectified via galvanic skin response and pulse rate.
  • Development of a device for integrated measurement.

Main Results:

  • Cortical information processing can be expressed algebraically using bits and bits/sec.
  • Galvanic skin response and pulse rate reliably indicate changes in emotional tension.
  • The developed method and device are suitable for measuring psychic states.

Conclusions:

  • Information processing ability can be quantitatively defined.
  • Physiological measures provide objective indicators of emotional states.
  • This approach can be applied to monitor and predict the psychological well-being of individuals in demanding environments like space stations.
