New York l002l Dear Dr. Cattell: I have read and and Hyams. and find re-read the enclosed article it for publication in its by Superman too complex and unfocussed to be suitable present form. The authors approach two separate issues - a new mathematical approach to the analysis of the integrated amplitude EEG. and the effects of a novel agent. adrenochrome semicarbazone. The evaluation of this compound is confused by the authors' interest in the adrenochrome theory of schizophrenia and their observations that the integrated EEG of schizophrenics is reaction than like normal EEG. much The article lacks clarity in the effort could I follow the text. more like the LSD mathematics and only with The results presented are is focussed on only the mathematical data. but the discussion the significance of the data for chronic schizophrenia. The authors suggest that they have additional normal data (to be published elsewhere) and use it in their argument. but we do not have the opportunity to examine the data to learn its relevance to a comparison with chronic schizophrenia (i.e., age, social class, diet, previous drug history, educational level, etc, of the normal population). Finally. the authors fail to present any simple description of the effects of the drug on the EEG. In view of the importance of EEG changes for the effectscf psychoactive drugs, it is a serious omission to find no simple quantitative description of pattern and frequency effects, activation effects, egg, in an article entitled as this one is. I trust these comments are helpful. Sincerely yours. J/ézij7/J nax Fi’nk, no.
