Nowadays, there is a need for a systematic ecobiological approach to the human body understood as a selfregulating adaptive system. Considering the multi-level structure of living organisms, a promising method is gas-discharge visualization (GDV), which allows to visualize the distribution of energy flow in biological objects and is considered the most recent approach to understanding the functioning of living organisms and identifying the state of their functional systems under the influence of various environmental factors. The article describes the mechanisms of bioelectric research, analyzes the possibilities of using the gas-discharge visualization method in environmental research. The initial data of the students studied was based on the estimation of the state of the physiological systems of their bodies depending on age and gender. In addition, the influence of socioecological factors on the physiological state of students, in particular the influence of listening to music and smoking, was estimated. It can be concluded that the GDV-visualisation method is promising in environmental studies, in particular in the human ecology, when the influence of a number of factors on the state of the organism is studied.
