title: [Higher forms of brain activity and psychology].
abstract: On the examples of comparison of the evoked potentials with a theory of signal identification (A. M. Ivanitsky) and need-informational theory of emotions (P. V. Simonov) with the "general law of human emotions" (D. Price, J. Barrell) the efficiency is demonstrated of the simultaneous study of the higher brain functions by neurophysiological and psychological methods. Recent experimental data are given on the natural-scientific bases of consciousness. Human personality is considered as an individual unique composition and internal hierarchy of his vital, social and individual needs. Acknowledgement of the supplementary nature of the objective and subjective analysis of the human behavior helps eliminate the contradiction between the determinism and subjectively sensed freedom of choice.
