Correction of attention in a learning ability task with using non-invasive neurostimulation of peripheral nervous system

Abstract

The paper contains the results of pilot research on neuro-electrostimulation influence with a help of special field of the current pulses on characteristics of attention, which are some of the main parameters of the learning process. The method of dynamic correction of the activity of the sympathetic nervous system implemented by means of the «SYMPATHOCOR-01» device for improving educational and cognitive parameters is proposed. It is shown that the attention parameters such as speed and productivity can be improved by using neuro-electrostimulation. Also, it was shown that some of the autonomic nervous system characteristics, in particular LF and VLF spectral components of heart rate variability, can be chosen as indicators of human efficiency changes.
