Abstract
We studied the effect of essential oils and music fragments, as wellas their various combinations on the brain’s electrical activity parameters.We showed the character of their impact on the basicEEG frequency bands, identified localization of sources for specificactivity. It was found that the olfactory and musical influenceof different modalities have unidirectional effect on the bioelectricactivity indices. This EEG response is most likely associated with acommon mechanism for implementing the effects of audio andodorant stimulants. It was found that the response to the combinationsof sensory effects has different intensity. These data permit thesensory effects to be ranked in terms of their activation level, whichmakes it possible to purposefully influence the psycho-emotionalstates. Our findings are the basis for developing further methodsand programs of modifying the athletes’ functional states.
