title: [The information theory of emotions: the psychophysiological study of the mental imagination of joy].
abstract: An interhemisphere distribution of the EEG frequency and amplitude and its dependence on intensity of an imagined emotional experience, was studied in 20 subjects. A positive correlation was found between the information scale and the EEG alpha-frequency band, as well as between the intensity of imagined desire and EEG delta- and theta-waves in the left hemisphere.
