Sixty-four prisoners charged with murder, 3 of whom were subsequently found not guilty and 15 guilty of manslaughter, were subjected to physical and mental examination with encephalogram. Seventy percent of cases in which the killing was apparently motiveless had electro-encephalic abnormality.Keywords
