Abstract: FIELD: medicine. 
     SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to a system and a method for assessing subject sensitivity to a stimulus, as well as to a system for improving sensitivity of a first sensory, reflex and motor mechanism of a subject. System for evaluating a sensitivity of a subject to a stimulus comprises a first action channel, a reaction channel, a signal path and a controller. First channel of action is designed to create a stimulus of the first type for a subject. Reaction channel is configured to receive a response from a subject. Action and reaction channels are realized by means of drives and sensors. Signal path is connected to the first action channel and to the reaction channel. Controller is configured to establish a first conversion circuit, a first channel circuit, an interface circuit, an adaptive circuit. First conversion circuit includes the first channel of action and forms a path terminating in the signal path. First circuit of the channel includes the first channel of action, forms a path through the signal path and ends in the first reference block. Interface circuit includes a first action channel, a reaction channel and a first reference block, wherein the first reference block has a first initial value of the parameter. Adaptive circuit includes a first action channel, a reaction channel and a first reference block, wherein the first reference block is controlled from the first initial parameter value to the first adapted parameter value based on the response from the subject. Signal path is an automatically configurable signal path formed by switches, which are opened and closed by commands from the controller, allowing to dynamically reconfigure the system so that the channel of action can become a reaction channel in accordance with a predefined program or in accordance with the subject's responses in real time or with a delay. In implementing the method, a first action channel is used as an excitation signal source for stimulating a first sensory, reflex and motor mechanism of a subject. Second channel of action is used as a stimulant source for stimulation of the second sensory, reflex and motor mechanism of the subject. Reaction channel is used to measure the physiological response of the first sensory, reflex and motor mechanism. System for improving the sensitivity of a first sensory, reflex and motor mechanism of a subject comprises an assistance signal source for stimulating the mechanisms of the subject, a sensor for measuring the physiological response of the subject's mechanisms, a controller. Controller is provided for automatic selection of the assistance signal source and automatic adjustment of the assistance signal level based on the measured physiological response and evaluation of the measured physiological response by measurements. Adjusting the assistance signal level improves sensitivity of the mechanisms of the subject due to interactions based on the principle of support. 
     EFFECT: higher perception of reality and improved perception, provided configurable system for assessing subject's sensitivity to stimulus.
