Abstrakt: The article presents a study which correlates the alpha, beta and theta time densities with psychological and psychophysiological variables in a psychiatric population. The correlations of the Electroencephalography (EEG) variables with measures of adjustment were small and barely exceeded chance expectations. Alpha and beta were correlated positively with pain threshold, while beta was related inversely to blood pressure. Theta was correlated positively with blood pressure and negatively with pulse rate. The findings fail to substantiate several common notions as to the psychological meanings of EEG waves.
