[Rhythm disorders of basic bioelectric activity of the brain in alcoholism and exposure to carbon disulfide (CS2)].

A visual and computer-assisted analysis was made of basic brain biological function in 45 EEG recordings of alpha waves alone or mostly alpha waves. The study revealed abnormal frequency of alpha waves in patients with chronic alcoholism (60%) and in people chronically exposed to carbon disulphide (73.4%). The abnormalities most probably reflect dysfunction of the CNS.
