Abstract
The study is devoted to analysis of EEG frequency spectral characteris tics during mental reproduction by subjects of joy, anger, fear, and s orrow. Significant differences between the emotional states are reveal ed in the points C-4, T-4, F-3, O-1 by the mean alpha-frequency (p < 0 ,05). Two opposite tendencies are revealed, i.e., joy and anger are ma inly characterized by an increase of the alpha peak frequency in respe ct to the background values, whereas its decrease is seen in fear and sorrow.
