[13]  The most appropriate experiment aimed at justification of the suggested mechanism is simultaneous monitoring of the characteristics of separate human organisms and parameters of the electromagnetic fields generated by the near-Earth resonators during a fairly long time interval that would include most important events occurring on the Sun and eventually determining its activity. To this end, two measuring-calculating systems are used. One system provides detection and analysis of the electromagnetic background of the environment, including the frequency range of the near-Earth resonators (0.1-30) Hz [Kolesnik, 1998; Kolesnik et al., 1997]. A computer-aided fast data processing including examination of the spectra of the detected signals, their storage on magnetic media, and formation of databases for subsequent analysis is carried out. The second system provides continuous monitoring of the key characteristics of the functional states of a human organism including the cardiovascular and nervous systems [Borodin et al., 1997; Kolesnik, 1998]. These two measuring-calculating systems are synchronized in time, which allows parallel (synchronous) monitoring of both the parameters of the environmental electromagnetic fields and characteristics of the functional states of the human organism (see Figure 2).

[14]  In this work, the data obtained in the monitoring carried out from 1994 to 2003, i.e., during the period embracing nearly the entire 11-year solar cycle with the maximum solar activity in 2002 and minimum activity in 1997, were used. Essential features of the monitoring of the states of the functional systems of a human organism which should be noted here are the 24-hour registration and the condition of "physiological rest" for the volunteers participating in the investigations. The necessity to meet these requirements was due to the facts that (1) the circadian cycle is the fundamental cycle in the adaptive activity of an organism and (2) an active behavior can considerably modify important variables of the basic functional systems. In other words, a correct analysis of experimental data would be problematic if these conditions were not fulfilled. Technical details of recording of electrocardiograms (ECG) and electroencephalograms (EEG) were standard to a large degree [Borodin and Kolesnik, 2001].
