Brain waves and problems of psychology.

Abstract

Since World War II numerous advances have been reported dealing with the relationships between brain waves and psychological processes. These studies are summarized and discussed under the categories of sleep and wakefulness, sensation, response processes, perception, and complex processes. "Each new discovery seems to veveal the brain as an even more versatile organ than was previously appreciated. The major advances in the areas discussed have unquestionably stemmed from the delineation of anatomical connections and physiological functions of the reticular formation of the lower brain stem and the diffuse thalamic projection system." 206 references.
