Abstract
The effects of transcranial electrostimulation on medical students with different types of adaptive responses (training, activation, stress, reactivation), levels of reactivity, and psychophysiological and autonomic status were studied. These experiments showed that transcranial electrostimulation was effective for subjects with adaptive responses of the training and activation types but not in those with stress combined with marked vagal tension. Transcranial electrostimulation facilitated improvements in psychophysiological parameters of the students and increased the level of body reactivity.
