It is noted that the phenomenon of probable dependence of the instability of the instrument recording of radioactive decay belongs to the class of phenomena, which are characterized by the influence of space weather factors on the technology of accurate measurements and equipment. Such an impact changes the registration efficiency and concerns the parameters that are usually not operatively controlled: changes in the electron work function of the photomultiplier cathodes; variations in the output of luminescent photons; change of gain coefficient of the first cascades; instability of the dead time; instability of the timer. There are proposed schemes of experiments that could help clarify the situation.
This paper presents the results of expeditionary studies of the parameters dynamics of the human brain electrical activity under conditions of a gradient magnetic field of active geological fault zones. It is shown that these modifications of magnetic fields of natural origin have a pronounced effect on the dynamics of individual indices of the human brain bioelectric activity, and the delay time of the reaction differs for different age groups of volunteers.
The paper presents the results of studies of changes in psycho-physiological indicators (simple auditory motor and visual-motor reaction) of 2 volunteers in a zone with a modified magnetic field. It is established that in the presence of a gradient magnetic field, the volunteers have a longer response time to the visual and auditory stimuli.
The report presents a retrospective analysis of the relationship between the annual values of the global index of Wheeler's military activity with the yearly values of Wolf Numbers (solar activity) and aa-index (geomagnetic activity). The analysis covered the XII-XVII centuries. Previously, such detailed comparisons for a given time interval were not carried out, primarily due to the lack of exact series of indexes, which were only relatively recently reconstructed at the Pulkovo Observatory. It is established that the maximum bursts of military activity fall on years with extremely low values of geomagnetic activity over the entire time interval, and vice versa. In turn, there was confirmed the earlier result about the coincidence of the Long-wave peaks of the Kondratyev economic conjuncture with the solar activity peaks: for 2 years before the maximum of Kondratieff waves, the Wheeler index takes the maximum value. Such heterogeneous dependencies and apparent contradictions with the classical results of A.L. Chizhevsky of economic and military activity on space weather require additional research. However, in any case it can be argued that, in addition to the well-known result of A.L. Chizhevsky about the confinement of revolutions and wars to maxima of solar activity, there is also an absolutely opposite class of events: bursts of military activity in years with extremely low geomagnetic and solar activity, and vice versa: the minimum of military events in years with extremely high values of geomagnetic and solar activity.
The paper presents the results of expedition studies of the dynamics of the parameters of electrical activity of the human brain in the gradient magnetic field of the geological fault zone. It is shown that these changes in the magnetic fields of natural origin influence the dynamics of the indices of the electrical activity of the human brain.
There are presented the results of experimental studies of the dynamics of indices of the functional state of a person located within the zones characterized by anomalous parameters of spatial distribution of magnetic field vector values. It is shown that these geophysical modifications have a pronounced effect on the dynamics of electrical activity indices of the human brain, regardless of geographic and climatic conditions.
