This preliminary survey of a group of schizophrenics at Friern Hospital was undertaken in order to find out whether such cases presented any electroencephalographic deviation from normal. In the event of positive results being obtained it was hoped that, in addition to further lines for research being indicated, some light might be thrown on the issues raised by Hoagland, Cameron and Rubin (1), (2), (3), and Lemere (4) regarding electro-encephalograms in treated and untreated psychotics.
