title: EEG changes under hyperbaric conditions: spectral analysis during simulated diving.
abstract: Continuing investigations of the influences of the hyperbaric pressure upon EEG record in divers during simulated diving. The hyperbaric ecological system exerts influences on brain bioelectric activity manifesting itself by changes of alpha frequency and appearance of slow waves. The changes in the brain activity are mostly observable at the changes in chamber pressure values. The changes in EEG recordings are smallest at constant pressures. EEG examination can be used as a measure of the safety of newly developed decompression schedules.
