Abstract
This article deals with changes in the EEG amplitudes and frequencies, spatial distribution of the main EEG rhythms, and structure of the interconnections between various zones of the hemispheric cortex in neurological patients before and after adaptive biocontrol sessions aimed at normalizing their state. The authors discuss the strategy and tactics of adaptive biocontrol with regard for the individual disorders of EEG parameters. Purposeful voluntary modification of the structure of interzonal relations leads to the rearrangement of intercentral connections and contributes to the cessation of pathological states; neurological symptoms completely disappear in most of the patients. It is concluded that if the parameters of purposeful EEG regulation are selected properly, taking into account individual rearrangements, adaptive biocontrol may be used more widely in rehabilitation.
