Abstract
The skin potential level (SPL) of facial biologically active zones (BAZs) reflects the level of background activation of brain structures and the level of mental stress. The aim of the study was to detect the distribution of SPL in symmetric biologically active zones of face skin (frontal, superciliary, paranasal, temporal, periotic and postaural) pending psychological and neurophysiological tests depending on the level of emotional burnout among students. It indicates that the formation of burnout reduced the background initial emotional tension pending emotionally significant events that may affect violating adaptive capacity and reducing the effectiveness of future activities.
