[Psychophysiological characterization of persons with different resistance to stress]

On the basis of behavioral characteristics while performing operator activity under the conditions of emotional stress, two types of subjects were identified with different neurophysiological reactions to emoional stress. In high stress resistant subjects, irrespective of the character of errors under stress, a decrease in the spectral power of theta-rhythm and an increase in the power in beta hand was observed. As compared to low stress resistant subjects, they were characterized by the predominance of activity of the right hemisphere. In low stress resistant subjects during the work under stress conditions the spectral power in beta-1 hand decreased. As compared to high stress resistant, they were characterized by the predominance of the left hemisphere.
