ABSTRACT
Motivation dominates in the structure of the personality and is one of the basic notions which explains the dynamics of the behavior. The literature has little data about neurophysiology of motivation. The aim of the research was to study the correlation between the motivational sphere and electrical activity of the brain at the influence of different provocations. 24 healthy people at the age of 26-36 years were examined. The results of motivation tests turned out to be uniform (the motivation to success was of a moderate or high level, there were mean values of readiness to risk and low motivation to achievement and approval). Multiple correlations between different types of motivation and electrical activity of the brain at rest, at hyperventilation with room temperature air and at isocapnic cold air hyperventilation were revealed.

The influence of hyperventilation on electric activity of the brain has traditionally been the subject of study of physiologists. The role of the brain in the processes of adaptation to cold air inhalation is still studied not enough. The aim of the work is to define the peculiarities of brain reaction to isocapnic hyperventilation with cold air and identify correlation between its electric activity against different modes of ventilation and the pattern of breathing and parameters of the forced expiration. 21 healthy volunteers went through complex functional examination. Qualitative differences of relative power of theta rhythm at isocapnic hyperventilation with cold air were found out. The peculiarities of correlation between brain electric activity during cold provocation and breathing pattern and bronchomotor tone were revealed.
