The work was aimed to reveal the functional significance of separate narrow-frequency bands in the high-frequency range (40-200 Hz) of brain electrical activity of dogs in the process of lever-pressing instrumental conditioning. In order to divide this range into separate bands we applied one of the methods of multivariate statistics, factor analysis (FA) with varimax rotation. Values of function of spectral density in the wide range (1-200 Hz) were factorized. The structure of factors reflected both regional cortical characteristics of electrical activity and individual features. Conditioning induced changes in factor description of brain electrical activity mainly in the high-frequency part of the spectra. A number of new factors appeared which divided high-frequency band of the brain activity into narrower parts with definite functional significance.
