Extract

Several investigators have attempted to relate cerebral activity to extraversion and neuroticism. These include Berger (1933), Jasper (1937), Gottlober (1938), Henry and Knott (1941), Knott (1941), Darrow (1947), Lindsley (1950), McAdam and Orme (1954), Gastaut (1957) and Brazier (1960). The results, however, have been inconclusive.
