The research identified and described the correlation between the nervous system and the cognitive profile in foreign university students. The quantitative properties of cognitive functions included short-term memory, concentration, and combinatorial thinking. The indicators and their neurodynamic features were subjected to an integrated cognitive approach. The neurodynamic indicators included the rate of simple visual-motor reaction, functional mobility of nervous processes, equilibrium of the nervous system in response to a moving object, and nervous system stability in terms of brain performance. Unlike the Russian control group, the foreign students demonstrated a slow inhibition – excitation cycle and a poor visual memory for numbers and words. The control group had a stronger nervous system with a higher degree of activation. In the test group, the cognitive functions depended on the expression degree of nervous processes. Students with a weaker nervous system demonstrated a lower level of simple and complex visual-motor reaction and functional mobility of nervous processes: they made more errors in the test tasks. Those with a stabler nervous system showed better combinatorial thinking abilities and concentration. The indicators of mechanical and semantic memory did not correlate with the nervous system stability.
