[Correlations between psychopathology and EEG patterns in epilepsy (author's transl)].

Summarizing we could see that the EEG-records in our 340 patients comprising study proved to be a parameter of prediction of the psychiatric state and behavior and we could observe that patients having a normal or only slightly impaired EEG-pattern also used to be in a much better psychiatric state, then patients with severely disturbed EEG-records. Results of statistically very high significance we could especially observe in the field of the objective tests. concerning quickness and exactness of judgement and the cortical arousal we had much better results when there were no special EEG-activities. But also in the field of the brain-capacity-tests and subjective self-rating-tests the group with severely disturbed EEG-records had worse results. We even could observe in some parameters a difference favoring group one having a normal EEG compared to group two with only slightly impaired EEG-patterns.
