Extract

The E.E.Gs. of schizophrenic patients have been studied by a number of workers, notably Davis and Davis (1939). P. Davis (1939, 1940, 1942) attempted a classification of schizophrenic records, defining the main types of pattern. Gibbs et al. (1938), Jasper et at. (1939), and, more recently, Hill (1946), have noted the presence of epileptic activity in the E.E.G.s of catatonic schizophrenics.
