INTRODUCTION The gas discharge visualization (GDV) technique was developed by Konstantin Korotkov at St. Petersburg State Technical University in the 1990s (Korotkov, 1998). The first GDV camera was made in 1995; subsequently hundreds of cameras of this type were produced and developed with new designs. GDV cameras are used in 64 countries (Kostyuk, 2011). The GDV camera is based on the well-known Kirlian effect (Korotkov, 2002) and uses modern optics, electronics and computer processing to analyze the photonic emission of electrons from different subjects called GDV grams. GDV grams are obtained through the application of a pulsed electromagnetic field and allow the functional status of an individual to be identified in real time. Gram GDV based on the Kirlian effect occurs when any object is pla...... at the center of the paper ......V, Kovelkova, MN, Strychkov, P. V, & Yakovleva, EG (n.d.) .
