Abstract
The dymamics of absolute and relative changes in the brightness thresholds of letters recognition was studied in 21 subjects, under conditions of dark adaptation and molecular observation, before and after pairing of one of the letters with electrocutaneous stimulation of the index finger during one session. Isolated electrocutaneous stimulation was applied on the 10th or 35th day after the session. It has been found that after pairings the relative threshold of recognition of the letter previously paired with electrical stimuli (i.e. the threshold in relation to recognition thresholds for the other letters) becomes for three to three and a half hours significantly lower than the initial one. Then there sharply sets in a phase of threshold elevation. Both in the case of double and multiple tests, this phase persists for not less than 35 days. Following an isolated electrical stimulation, a momentary significant lowering of the threshold sets in only for the letter which was paired with it in the first sessions.Entities:
