Abstract
An apparent relationship is reported between "% time Alpha" in electroencaphalograms and the degree of bodily excitation, as indicated by increased muscle action potentials and decreased palmar skin resistance. It is suggested that the relationship would be more pronounced had the total corti- cal energy flux been measured. The data constitute a preliminary attempt at study of the activity of muscle and other peripheral tissues as they affect the cortical excitatory state.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
