I found the review of focal seizures quite good and you confirm the need for a definitive EEG, behavioral and study. The my data demonstrates clinical equivalents for unilateral and bilateral BUT, the more important a definitive study becomes not only for the practical aspects but the theoretical as well. For this reason, I regret very much that the EEG material was not collected. However, you indicate that you may be able to collect EEG records in the remaining subjects. If this is so, for comparability it would be very helpful to have records collected 2M to 30 hours after a seizure so that comparisons can be made with my earlier studies. more the In reading the paper, which appears to be mislabeled, I am impressed with the equivalents of the mennry tasks. However, why were the clinical results not included? Surely, since these patients were receiving treatment the records must show whether symptom relief occurred, or whether there were changes in global aspects of behavior, or whether there were some other secondary effects, Perhaps you wish to wait until you have completed the additional thirty subjects. But if you believe that this data is sufficient for the menory results, it should be as sufficient for the behavioral data. Incidentally, I think the title should more properly be related to the detailed analysis of memory changes than as a general statement of the daily administration of unilateral BCI‘. In your letter you indicate hat you have collected the data at each five treatment intervals. It would be helpful to exandne these as carefully as the results after memory twenty treatxents because give an idea as to whether it will two differ. the rate of change between the groups may ' �-2- Dr. Abrams he February 9, 1967 Your question regarding Dr. Abood is either interested or has the is good, but I doubt that facilities to undertake these clinical and our experimental However, cnoe the aspectsaredefinedIoancallsaneofthepeopleinNewYorklflce deteminations.

As to the statistician who my files can perform the tests you require, if you will lay out the numbers on sheets identifying the variables, I can try to get the work The done in when you come New York. I have recently re-read the BOP studies of Dr. Paul Blachly of the University of Oregon. He describes the administration of multiple treatment in one day with EEG control and argues that with proper ventilation the memory changes are minimal and the clinical improvement enhanced. He has a single report which appears in Compaehmiue PAchy, Volume 7, g: 100-107, April, 1966. As part of your reading I suggest you become acquainted with this article. He too has theoretical suggestions which warrant testing. Keep up the good work.
