| Abstract: | Electrical activity was studied of five different regions of dogs neocortex in inter-stimuli periods in the process of learning of motor habit of pressing the feeder pedal. Epidural electrodes were used. The processing was performed by means of correlation-spectral analysis in a wide band of 1-256 Hz. Values of cross-correlation coefficients, spectra of power, coherence and phase shifts were obtained. In the process of the habit consolidation the high frequencies power increased significantly (within the limits from 60 to 150-170 osc/sec), as well as the part of high coherence (over 0.75), falling on these limits, with low phase shifts. Relatively slow-wave oscillations (1-20 osc/sec) underwent changes of considerably lesser degree. A greater locality of high frequencies (in comparison with the traditional range of 1-20 Hz) was shown. The question of the nature of high frequency EEG components is discussed. |
