title: Studies of selective attention in dogs using the energy characteristics of neocortical potentials in the frequency range 1-220 Hz.
abstract: Experiments were performed in dogs to study the state of selective attention formed during operant food-related training and apparent during interstimulus intervals as a state of tense expectation of the conditioned signal. Electrical activity in various parts of the neocortex, in both hemispheres, was analyzed in the frequency range 1-220 Hz (epidural electrodes) using Fourier transforms. The electrical activity of the motor area of the right hemisphere showed a predominance of high-frequency (40-200 Hz) components, as did the visual and parietal areas of the left hemisphere. The state of selective attention was associated with a different functional mosaic in the organization of neocortical electrical activity.
