In 13 patients (7 men and 6 women) aged 19-44 yrs, 28 yrs at average, suffering symptoms of giddiness, nausea, vomiting, unconsciousness, the functional state of brain, using electroencephalography, was investigated. In 62% patients, according to the background electroencephalography data, the total power of low rhythms (teta + delta) had exceeded the total power of rapid rhythms (alfa + beta) in every 11 (68%) investigated brain dots of total 16. Quantitative diagnostic criterion for the brain commotion diagnosis confirmation was created, basing on the investigation results analysis performed: the total power of a slow rhythms exceeding over total power of rapid rhythms in majority (more than 68%) of the brain investigated region dots.
