Abstract

In the real-life environment, the subjectively unperceived reactivity of rheoencephalogram (REG) and electroencephalogram (EEG) to ordinary geophysical factors (including wind, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, and temperature) is gender-dependent. Correlations between REG and EEG values and weather fluctuations are more frequent and stronger in men. Dependence of EEG rhythms on weather factors increases as the rhythmic activity within the δ–θ–α–β range becomes more rapid. This pattern is particularly evident in men but not women. Reactivity of neurodynamic parameters in female REG and EEG is responsive to the ovarian-menstrual cycle. Almost all cases of cerebral weather sensitivity of women were objectified in the post-ovulatory period, whereas in the preovulatory period, episodes of weather sensitivity were few.
