It is supposed that by the way of brain hypoxic stimulations a determinant can be created alternative to that of epileptic focus. An optimum length of hypoxic stimulations course was found, when alternative determinant has already been formed but has not yet turned into a pathological one. It was revealed that during hypoxic adaptation increase of main rhythm spectral capacity of EEG can be observed, and maximum effect is being achieved to the 20th session of adaptation process. After 25 sessions of trainings their capacities become somewhat lower. And this evidences some depression of bioelectric activity. So, the optimum hypoxia adaptation terms for epileptic patients should not exceed 20 sessions.
