The research Group of neurodynamic correction of disturbed brain functions has based its work on the idea of reinforcement of possibilities of adaptive self-regulation of the patient's brain with the help of computerized external feedback. The method uses a unique transformation of signals of brain bioelectrical activity into polyphonic phonation, allowing the patients to hear the work of their own brain in the real time. The sessions of bioacoustic correction in patients with different neuroses result in harmonization of the sonic image of brain activity, objective normalization of the principal psychophysiological indices and are followed by disappearance of numerous neurological complaints (irritability, high fatigability, depressive states, headache, disturbed sleep, deterioration of attention and memory).

Investigation of the dynamics of mental and physiological indices during the procedures of bioacoustic correction has shown rapid and deep reorganization of bioelectrical activity of the human brain, recovery of the psychoemotional state, mobilization of the adaptational and protective properties of organism, that allows this method not only to be used for treatment of neurotic disorders, but also to be recommended for the maintenance and reinforcement of the working capacity of the subjects whose work is connected with higher psychophysiological, intellectual and emotional load, considerable stressful situations.

Prioritized investigations have been performed on the application of adaptive self-regulation of respiratory sinus arrhythmia of the heart by the visual channel for studying, correction, formation and optimization of the speech respiration in healthy volunteers and in its disturbances in young and adult subjects with stammering, in practically healthy subjects under conditions of psychoemotional stress and in speech-professionals with vegetative, neuroendocrine dysfunctions, high level of anxiety and neurotic state. Optimization of the ventilation-perfusion relationships in the lungs, recovery and increased efficiency of the mechanisms of the intra- and inter-systemic synchronization of cardio-respiratory and speech-forming systems were shown as well as the development in the tested subjects of a steady habit of arbitrary control of the functional state and formation of a new dynamic stereotype of speech respiration. In its turn, it facilitates the reestablishment of impaired mechanisms of self-regulation of speech respiration, speech and speech behavior, normalization of physiological and psychological indices, recovery from neurosis and high anxiety. In juveniles suffering from alcoholism and drug addiction, the session of adaptive self-regulation with external feedback resulted in the formation of a habit of a comfort condition, and EEG pattern reorganization was observed as well as an increased concentration of arbitrary attention, higher self-control of behavior, normalization of the vegetative and emotional reactions.

The development of new computerized technologies for correction of motivation in children allowing more complete use of compensatory potencies of the CNS are underway based on the results obtained for prophylactics of addiction and other neuropathic and psychopathic disorders in juveniles.
