The Influence of Environmental Factors in The Arctic Zone on The Psychophysiological State of Humans: Application of the Gas Discharge Visualization (Gdv) Method

This study aims to investigate the impact of geophysical and climatic factors in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation on the human psychophysiological state using the Gas Discharge Visualization (GDV) method. This method enables the registration of bioelectrical activity that reflects the state of the autonomic nervous system, the body's energy resources, and the level of adaptation.For the first time, statistically significant differences in GDV indicators were identified between indigenous and non-indigenous residents, including both children and adults from various regions. These findings indicate the existence of ethnospecific and regionally determined adaptation patterns.The results show that indigenous Saami populations exhibit more balanced metabolic and autonomic responses, likely reflecting genetically based mechanisms of resilience to geocosmic stressors. A conceptual model is proposed that links GDV parameters with environmental characteristics, including solar activity levels, geomagnetic turbulence, and temperature fluctuations.
