- Title
A STATE-TRAIT ANALYSIS OF ALPHA DENSITY AND PERSONALITY VARIABLES IN A NORMAL POPULATION.
- Authors
Degood, Douglas E.; Valle, Ronald S.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the state-trait analysis of alpha density and personality variables in a normal population. The demonstration of biofeedback-assisted regulation of brain waves has kindled a renewal of interest in the interrelationship between psychological phenomena and electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns. Most intriguing to researchers and clinicians alike is the possibility that feedback-assisted self-control of EEG patterns may serve as a regulator of psychological states. The primary purpose of the present paper was to examine the relationship of some selected trait measures of personality with resting samples of alpha density in a normal population. A second purpose is to examine the implications of such data for a state-trait approach to alpha and the experiential states associated with alpha.
