THE EFFECT OF STRESSORS ON EEG ACTIVATION WITH PHOTIC STIMULATION

Abstract

Seventy subjects were studied electroencephalographically during photic stimulation at various frequencies. The EEG recordings are being evaluated clinically for photic stimulation induced abnormalities as well as electronically using a frequency analyzer. Information is being collected on (1) medical history with major emphasis on central nervous system involvement (mental illness, head injury, convulsions, blackout and fainting spells, headaches, etc.); (2) response to photic stimulation - subjective experience to each frequency of photic stimulation used; and (3) performance on an embedded figure test (Witkin's format).
