Summary
Initial muscular activity is associated with depression of the α-rhythm and appearance of high-frequency oscillations of the β-rhythm type in the electroencephalogram. On continuation of the work, short periods of α-rhythm begin to appear on this backgroun and gradually increase. If the work is continued further it is accompanied by an α-rhythm which is almost no different from the α-rhythm in the state of rest. The duration of the initial period of work depends on the character and power of the preparatory and the subsequent work.
