[Evaluation of the functional status of pilots by the indices of interhemispheric asymmetry]. / Otsenka funktsional'nogo sostoianiia letchikov po pokazateliam mezhpolusharnoi asimmetrii.

The stability of the functional asymmetry of brain hemispheres (with respect to the right ear coefficient - REC) of pilots was investigated during their exposure to extreme flight factors. It was found that the functional asymmetry of brain hemispheres was sufficiently stable in the subjects whose initial REC was not less than 10%. After exposure the decline of the REC in some subjects was accompanied by deterioration of their health status and quality of their operational work.

Psychophysiological parameters of 89 pilots were examined when they performed flight tasks on a trainer under normal and complicated conditions. The experiments helped to reveal a group of test subjects (11.2%) who had low capabilities and made serious errors. The results obtained suggest that psychophysiological examinations during simulated professional activity can be recommended as a method to be used for measuring adaptive and compensatory capabilities of pilots undergoing medical expertise.

[Human functional asymmetry in operator activity]. / Funktsional'nye asimmetrii cheloveka v operatorskoi deiatel'nosti.

The relationship between the level of operator's activity and functional asymmetry of hands, feet, eyes and ears has been established. The level of operator's activity is increased due to a well expressed right-handed asymmetry of hands, eyes and ears with feet asymmetry being of less importance.
