“…To get closer to revealing the physiological mechanism of intuitive thinking, we investigated personality, psycho-emotional, functional and neurophysiologic characteristics of students engaged in cognitive activity. Our research broadens the concepts of thinking processes presented before in various scientific investigations [11,12].…”

Abstract. The article is devoted to studying the mechanisms of regulating physiological maintenance of mental processes and the possibility of Kirlian photography for assessing psychoemotional state with intuitive thinking. While doing the tasks connected with the intuition, the students with the low level of intuitive thinking demonstrated the increase in the degree of filling blood hemoglobin with oxygen (saturation) and the increase in heart systole rate (HSR). The change of the indices of the heart rhythm variability -the mode decrease with the simultaneous increase in the mode amplitude and the vegetative indices -indicates the activation of both sympathetic and central mechanisms of mental processes regulation. The tension index of the regulatory systems (RS) allows us to judge about the mental process activity. The students were in the state of the compensated distress.All indices of the heart rhythm variability of the students with the medium intuition level indicate the central mechanisms of regulating the intuitive thinking processes. The increase in saturation, increased RS on the background of HSR decrease in the students of this group reveals a special functional state connected with the doubled control over the processes.The area of the Kirlian luminescence crown around the right hand forth finger is increased in all students with intuitive thinking. The energetic luminescence degree of the corresponding finger reveals the level of development of this kind of thinking: the higher the level of intuitive thinking, the more the luminescence area. Due to its high sensitivity, the Kirlian method can be applied for revealing the student's individuality that is not identified by the psychological tests.

“…The pupillary response occurs before mental processing begins, without stimulus recognition and without visual perception of the stimulus. As in the study of McCraty et al [19,20] the pupils constricted to positive images and responded with dilation to negative images, whether or not the images were visually available.…”

“…Rigorous experimental studies demonstrated that the heart and brain receive and process information about an event before the event actually happens [19,20]. Moreover, the physiological data showed that the heart appears to receive "intuitive" information a few seconds before the brain.…”

Rioting historically has been known to cause changes in individual cognition, with heightened emotionality, increased excitement and reduced reflective thought. A cross-disciplinary literature review hypothesises emotional states generate corresponding metabolic bio magnetic fields that radiate in patterns reflecting these emotional states. The oscillatory phase of these waves is advanced as being more significant than the power of signal, permitting stochastic effects to magnify signals by appropriating ambient noise. Possible transmission and detection structures in the body are discussed, induced paramagnetic sensitivity in crowd participants in a phase transition process is hypothesised, the effect may be proportional to crowd numbers. It is suspected that positive effects seen in Transcranial Magnetic Therapy used to treat depression may be operating on this mechanism, acting on natural receptors in the limbic system which also capture light and are implicated in mood transitions. A number of paramagnetic neurotransmitters may be implicated.
