[Selective attention in dogs from energy characteristics of neocortical potentials in the 1-220 Hz band].

The state of selective attention was studied in dogs in the course of instrumental conditioning. During interstimuli intervals, this state was manifested in the state of strained waiting for conditioned stimuli. Electrical activity of different areas in both hemispheres was analyzed using the Fast Fourier Transformation. It was shown that in the process of development of selective attention, the high-frequency EEG components (40-200 Hz) in the motor area of the right hemisphere and the visual and parietal areas of the left hemisphere had a predominant significance over the traditional EEG frequencies of 1-30 Hz. The state of selective attention was characterized by another functional mosaic organization of the neocortical potentials.
