The Production of Specified Electrocortical Activity as a Measurable Task.

Abstract

Global electrocortial activity (alpha) was examined as a possible index of subtle environmental effects upon productivity in cognitive tasks. A new model of biofeedback was proposed to account for the various effects described in the literature. Although consistent with previous findings, the model received no additional confirmation from the current study. It was concluded that the measure was overly sensitive and unstable. Other multivariate measurement schemes were suggested. (Author)
