Relationship of Personality Measures to the Alpha Rhythm of the Electroencephalogram

Abstract

The relationship of electroencephalographic (EEG) differences to personality measures aroused early interest (see Hill, 1963). For example, Adrian (1935) considered that EEG variations between subjects might correspond to differences in emotional constitution, and contrasts have been found in the personalities of patients with high and those with low alpha indices (McAdam and Orme, 1954).
