ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY IN AEROSPACE MEDICINE

Abstract

The series of papers provides information on some recent developments and on accepted limitations in the vast field of electroencephalography in relation to problems in aviation medicine. Chapter I contains three contributions of general interest concerning interpretation of the EEG. Chapter II is an extensive survey of EEG findings in aircrew and passengers and stresses the importance of a routine EEG at the start of a career in aviation and of serial EEG's in individual cases. The statistical evaluation of EEG characteristics as a means of helping selection are discussed in Chapter III and the fourth chapter deals with the relations between centrifugal acceleration and EEG changes, in particular the changes associated with fluctuations in the level of consciousness.
