[Interhemispheric EEG coherence in men with abnormal sexual behavior]

Interhemispheric interactions were examined in individuals with abnormal sexual behaviour by means of method of evaluation of coherent EEG properties in symmetric points of two hemispheres in different levels of awakening and in elaboration of cognitive tests related with preferential activation of one of two hemispheres. It was determined that EEG of the individuals who had committed sexual deliquency and had the signs of paraphilia was characterized by diffuse elevation of the degree of interhemispheric coherence in alpha-activity in the state of both passive and active awakening and by its local elevation in theta-activity. The results obtained might testify to the disorders either in cortical-subcortical interactions and in the cortical processes and permitted to suppose the decrease of degree of functional hemispheric lateralization in persons with paraphilias.
