title: [Dependence of human EEG spatial synchronization on the geomagnetic activity on the day of experiment].
abstract: Spontaneous EEG was registered under different activity conditions in 26 volunteers. The EEG synchronisation parameters were compared with the geomagnetic and solar activity on the day of experiment. A positive correlation of the EEG data with the geomagnetic activity was revealed, being most obvious in the frontal and central areas. A negative correlation between some local EEG synchronisation parameters and different indices of the solar activity, was also revealed. The degree of synchronisation of the spontaneous EEG seems to reflect sensitivity of the human nervous system to the Earth's magnetic field. A stressor response to strong short-term disturbances in the geomagnetic field reveals itself in the form of enhancement of the EEG global synchronisation. A sedative effect of slow magnetic oscillations is locally revealed in the parameters of the EEG synchronisation within the left hemisphere as well as the interhemisphere synchronisation.
