This volume introduces the concepts of income and optimal choice to
the realms of brain activity and behavior regulation. It begins by
developing the concept of the Income-Choice approach in the field
of biological control systems, then deals with the problems of
control of brain activity, and finally presents a model of behavior
disturbance based on the idea that its cause is a definite and
simple change in the income system of the organism. Other areas to
which the proposed Income-Choice approach could be applied are also
addressed including the origin of the epileptic aura and why it is
a predictor of the imminent attack, the mechanism of the phenomena
of "personality switching" in schizophrenics, and the possible
connection between schizophrenic- like symptoms and epileptic
status. Written nearly 20 years ago in Russia and now published in
the West, this book will be of value to many professionals in
related fields. This volume introduces the concepts of income and
