Abstract

In the paper, differences in the spectral power (SP) of EEG rhythms of the main frequency ranges (alpha, beta) in two groups of students, before and after the tests for attention are assessed. The first group consisted of students, who did not have a coronavirus infection in their anamnesis (control), the second group consisted of students recovered from a coronavirus infection no more than 3 months ago. EEG was recorded with NVX 36 digital DC EEG system according to the international scheme 10-20. The subjects were tested for attentiveness. After passing the tests, the results were above the minimum indicating the strain of the attention process. The registration time was 1 minute. It was found that students who underwent coronavirus infection, compared with the control group, showed a statistically significant change in the SP of the alpha and beta rhythms in several leads. In particular, there was an increase in the SP of the alpha rhythm in the frontal lead Fz and the central lead C3. When comparing beta1 rhythm, an increase in SP in the frontal lead Fz was also noted. Analysis of the beta 2 rhythm showed a decrease in the SP of the rhythm in students with coronavirus infection in the occipital O2 lead. The results show the effects of coronavirus infection on the bioelectrical activity of the brain in students. Despite the fact, that all the students at the time of the study were recovered, there is still a difference between those who did not get sick and those who had recovered. This indicates the effect of the coronavirus on the activity of the human brain.
