Abstract
Researchers in diverse domains use advanced computer techniques to describe complex entities and processes and impressively visualize those which are often unavailable for direct observation. However, one should emphasize that computer visualization conception implies more than just a convenient, impressive, or high rate information transfer. It also considers a problem of perception, processing, and further cultivation of such important personal qualities as intuition, professional “talent”, and figurative thinking which are of value for experts in any domain. Computer visualization comprises traditionally such sophisticated techniques as computer graphics, animation and virtual reality. Traditionally, computer graphics has delivered strong instruments for creating, processing, and interacting with data representations. Interactive paradigm has led to emergence of a new scope within the problem of artificial intelligence, which is called cognitive computer graphics. The use of cognitive graphics allows physicians, analyzing modest volume of information, to draw significant conclusions. In whole, cognitive graphics forms a separate subfield in medical research. Visualization provides experts with data in current state of patients just to monitor their conditions continuously. In this article, we show the use of computer visualization to study characteristics (including network imprints) of such a common disease as bronchial asthma. The patients were grouped according to influence degree of psychological factors to the occurrence, progression and course stages of the disease. The study focuses on comparison and analysis of the patient’ spirograms and demonstrate presence of physiological and psycho-physiological features among patients with diagnoses of bronchial asthma. In this respect computer visualization provides a solid platform for thorough research and deep analysis in spirometry.

Bronchial asthma – chronic lung disease affecting people of all age groups
Materials and methods of research The experimental data consisted of patients’ breathing curves with different types of bronchial asthma and in a group of conditionally healthy people registered with the “MONITOR” instrument (Figure 1) [1]
Summary
Bronchial asthma (from Greek. asthma – heavy breathing, smothering) – chronic lung disease affecting people of all age groups. Asthma – heavy breathing, smothering) – chronic lung disease affecting people of all age groups. It can occur in the form of single, episodic attacks or has a severe course with asthmatic status and fatal outcome. In recent years the incidence of bronchial asthma in most countries has increased significantly. The pity fact is that, in spite of scientific advances in the sphere of etiology and the availability of new medicine, the incidence and mortality from bronchial asthma is constantly increasing. This is typical for most countries of the world
