    Summary

    This study reveals that low-frequency brainwaves (delta-theta) correlate positively with brain activation during mental stress. Higher alpha-rhythm activity is linked to maintaining homeostasis.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Cognitive Science
    • Biophysics

    Context:

    • Investigates the relationship between brain activity patterns and cognitive states.
    • Examines electroencephalography (EEG) spectral power and distant biopotential synchronization.
    • Focuses on brain activation during rest versus mental stress.

    Purpose:

    • To explore the interconnection between cortical zone synchronization and EEG spectral power.
    • To determine how different EEG frequency bands (delta, theta, alpha, beta) are affected by mental stress.
    • To elucidate the role of specific brain rhythms in neural communication and homeostasis.

    Summary:

    • A positive correlation was found between distant biopotential synchronization (brain activation) and low-frequency EEG activity (delta-theta bands) during mental stress.
    • Negative correlations were observed for alpha- and beta-rhythms, with less widespread topographical distribution.
    • Coherence function increased specifically for the low-frequency band during mental stress, suggesting its role in excitation transmission.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the crucial role of low-frequency brain rhythms in cortical excitation transmission.
    • Underscores the significance of alpha-rhythm in maintaining physiological stability and homeostasis.
    • Provides insights into neural dynamics underlying cognitive load and stress responses.
