Reasoning is the result of the computations made by intelligent systems, for instance those in the brain. It is not an abstract concept because calculations performed by computations are very concrete transactions among the different central processing unit components. Entropy measurements are proposed here to disclose the plasticity of the cerebral processing associated with language comprehen...

*Presented at Canadian Psychiatric Association Meeting, Winnipeg, June, 1970. Intro duction This paper compares the EEG abnormalities of thirteen patients whose use of cannabis was associated with psychosis, with: — a group of cannabis users who claim they have no adverse reactions to this substance; — a group of schizophrenic patients; and — a group of patients who had required neurological c...

BACKGROUND Sleep deprivation for the initial electroencephalogram for suspected seizures is a widespread but inconsistent practice not informed by balanced evidence. Daily practice suggests that nonneurologists are confused by the meaning and value of, and indications for, "sleep" (tracing) vs "sleep deprivation" (and other alternatives). They need specific, informed guidance from general neuro...

Electroencephalographic patterns were studied in 30 normal healthy individuals practicing meditation and compared with 10 normal healthy controls not practicing meditation. In this study, we found prominent alpha wave activity and increase it its voltage in meditators as compared to controls. Meditators had significantly more alpha rhythm as compared to control group. Percentage of alpha waves ...

The Electroencephalograph (EEG) signals is one of the most widely used in the bioinformatics field due to its rich information about human tasks. The Electroencephalogram is a neuronal activity that represents the electrical activity of the brain. The uses of EEG signals in the field of Brain computer Interface (BCI) have obtained a lot of interest with diverse applications ranging from medicin...
