Abstract
Parameters of the brain functional state reliably recorded in the superslow band were studied in subjects with different levels of anxiety. The operation performance was estimated upon alterations of the sensory environment (various intensities of a classical or rock music accompaniment). Taking into account individual differences, estimates were obtained for the music intensity improving (optimizing) the parameters of the operation performance and specifically shifting the functional state of the brain.
