The article presents a technique and description of a device for creating psychoemotional stress conditions in toxicological experiments. The technique was based on the model of electric stimulus stress expectation. The device consisted of a block with depots for small laboratory animals. The depots had metal-covered floors connected to a generator of irregular electric impulses. The impulses were periodically proceeded by light signals. The block with animals was placed into a chamber for toxicological experiments. The technique proved its effectiveness with highly reliable results. The article contains the major technical parameters and drawings of the device.
