When evaluating human activity within a continuous work process, it is important to take into account not only the psycho-physiological stress at the beginning and at the end of work, but also the physiological costs at intermediate stages of activity. However, in real conditions, it is difficult for a researcher to divide a continuous workflow int...
The expert opinion of a teacher is the most common way to evaluate the creative activity of a student-actor in an actors' school. However, due to the fact, that each teacher has an individual experience and vision of the educational process, the level of subjectivity in assessing the student's performance is high. The activity of an actor on stage...

The developed system of diagnostics and correction, which includes traditional methods of psychotraining and modern methods of training with biological feedback (biofeedback-trainings), allows to reduce the
time of introducing an athlete into an optimal fighting state by the beginning of a responsible competition.
Some cognitive functions, including those of the highest level, the so-called executive functions, are involved in the ability to perceive and reproduce time intervals and timing, which can be as-sessed by the quality of auditory-motor synchronization. Cerebellum plays crucial role in these functions. When it is damaged, both sensorimotor and cogni...
The article describes a method for quantitative assessment of rhythmic motor task performance in a group of children from 7 to 17 years old (divided into subgroups) and a group of adult athletes (18 to 35 years old) who perform the same tasks using a sensorimotor rhythmography complex. The complex allows quantifying the results of the audio-motor s...
The use of computer-based simulators in the training of specialists in various fields is becoming more widespread. However, the changes in the physiological state of the operator, throughout the simulator training process, remain unclear. To this end, a study of these changes in the state of the flight simulator operator under normal conditions and...
It is well-known that heart rate increases during inhalation and decreases during exhalation. This phenomenon is called respiratory sinus arrhythmia. Synchronization between heart rhythm and breathing maximizes when breathing at the so-called resonance frequency, which for most people is about 6 breaths per minute. Heart rate variability biofeedbac...
Samples of students aged 18-20 years, 50 males and 50 females, were examined by a vast program, including standard anthropometry, psychological testing, EEG registration, HRV registration as a separate cut during EEG recording. To estimate intersystem covariability Spearman rank correlation and factor analysis were enlisted. Results and discussion....
Interest as a positive emotion is closely related to the ability to process new information and/or better consolidate the information which has already been perceived, increase in attention to what one is interested in, and indicators of processing, learning, and motivation [1].

Children with pediatric cancer usually treated with chemo-and radiotherapy. Because of such treatment, psychologists and health professionals declare cognitive and motor abilities decline in cancer patients. Timing is extremely important for movement and speech, and understanding the neurobiological basis of rhythm perception and reproduction can b...
The processes of perception and reproduction of rhythm affect the vast areas of the auditory, motor cortex, prefrontal cortical areas, and also subcortical structures such as the basal ganglia, the cerebellum and others. Perception and rhythm reproduction
are most often investigated by the results of a person’s sensomotor synchronization task perfo...
Принятие решения – проблема, которая волнует исследователей начиная со времен Античности до наших дней и которая занимает одно из ключевых мест в психологии и в других областях знаний (Greco, Figueira, 2005).

Mental workload refers to the relation between human cognitive ability and the effort required to deal with special events, including physiological workload, subjective workload, and cognitive workload. The tracking of physiological indicators during task completion would allow critical states of stress or fatigue to be detected in time. The project aimed to demonstrate the possibility and applicability of the real-time assessment of skin conductance and other physiological parameters during task execution and the ability to distinguish situations of different mental workload and stress level.
Timing is fundamental for different aspects of life. The purpose of this project is to find our associations between abilities to maintain and reproduce different rhythmic patterns and executive functions, physiological response, brain activity in athletes. Time estimation and sensorimotor synchronization develop during childhood. So our research also aimed to investigate age-related changes in time estimation and sensorimotor synchronization in children and treated for posterior fossa tumors, ALL, and controls.
Project aims to develop a technology of consumer choice estimation based on multimodal measurements of brain processes.
