Abstract
The EEG spectral power characteristics and intracortical interactions were studied using brain mapping technique in students selected by the ir high level of anxiety and predisposition to stress. Before the exam ination, the activation of the anterior areas of the right hemisphere was higher than in norm by both indices. After the examination, the ac tivation of these areas decreased. The obtained results, probably, ref lect the neurophysiological dynamics of psychoemotional stress.
