Abstract

A.R. Luria’s theory describes a structural and functional block that regulates the sleep–wake cycle and is involved in the awakening process. However, the features of interhemispheric asymmetry during awakening from different sleep phases remain insufficiently studied. There are practically no works on the EEG rhythms coupling during the restoration of activity immediately after awakening. Identification of differences in the functioning of the cerebral hemispheres (within the framework of A.R. Luria’s theory) upon awakening with varying efficiency of restoration of psychomotor activity. Identification of the connectivity of simultaneously functioning brain structures in 1 block according to A.R. Luria. Data from 15 of 83 participants who completed the entire study procedure were used for the analysis. Multichannel EEG was recorded in parallel with the bimanual psychomotor test. The power characteristics of the EEG were assessed based on the “mother” complex Morlet wavelet. The Kendall correlation coefficient served as a measure of the amplitude-amplitude interaction of EEG rhythms. Complete awakening is characterized by the presence of asymmetrical connections of EEG rhythms in both hemispheres. Incomplete awakening is accompanied by rhythmic connections in the left hemisphere only. The asymmetry of EEG rhythm coupling is observed in the frontal and temporal regions of the left hemisphere and in the frontal regions of the right hemisphere only during complete awakening. With incomplete awakening — in almost all areas of the left hemisphere. The performance of the psychomotor test is characterized by different efficiency of activity recovery after sleep, and different levels of efficiency are characterized by differences in the functioning of the hemispheres according to the EEG rhythm coupling. Connections between EEG rhythms were identified, on the basis of which an assumption was made about the coupled work of the thalamocortical and cortico-hippocampal systems within the 1 block according to A.R. Luria. Both types of awakening were characterized by the participation of all structural and functional blocks according to A.R. Luria, differing in the hemispheres depending on the type of awakening. Complete and incomplete awakenings are characterized not only by a different set of asymmetric EEG rhythm connections in the hemispheres, but also by their localization.
