Essay

Plant ether oils’ odors perception was accompanied with changes of human brain functional activity, which were shown in changes of its electrical activity, character of autonomic nervous system activity and in the subjective states related to odors. The most prominent components of odorant-induced changes in EEG were decreasing of low-frequency (6-10 Hz) band power with increasing of high-frequency (11-25 Hz) band power and coherency. The character of EEG spatial synchronization may reflect the processes of olfactory and other modality analyzer’s integration. Registered changes depended on many factors, such as gender, neuroticism, extra-introversion, individual level of brain activation and valence judgment of aromas.
