A Variability Study of the Normal and Schizophrenic Occipital Alpha Rhythm. II. The Electro-Encephalogram and Imagery Type
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 February 2018
Extract
Attempts to find a function characteristic of schizophrenia which may be correlated with the electro-encephalogram have not been very fruitful. For example, in a group of 60 adult schizophrenics only a very slight positive correlation exists between the electrical activity of the brain and duration of illness (Rubin, unpublished observations). The same correlation obtains for duration of hospitalization. Although not systematically studied, there appears to be no correlation between the electro-encephalogram and diagnostic sub-type of schizophrenia.
