Extract

The value of electro-encephalography as an aid to the study and diagnosis of nervous diseases is now accepted. The most valuable results have been obtained in cases of organic disease of the brain, particularly in space-occupying lesions and in epilepsy, but considerable attention has also been paid to the changes occurring in cases suffering only from mental disorder. The chief contributors to this subject are listed in the bibliography.
