Dear Mihhael,

pleasure having you visit our school, and after
hearing your impromptu responses to our questions, I am more
confident that the large attendance the day before was in
anticipation of your participation. Also, my best wishes— for
the success of your new venture, Psychological Medicine yes,
I have subscribed, I trust in time for the "special offer".

I am enclosing a number of additional (older) reprints
on the subject of EEG classification of psychoactive drugs,
as well as a pre—print of a report of an analysis of a new
compound. It has been my custom to review the various drug
classification schemes in my second lecture in a graduate
biological psychiatry seminar. Most published classifications
schemes do not fare weIL for their limitations exceed their

utility.

and

testable;

excellent quantification;

I commend these techniques to your review.

Studies of the effects of drugs on sleep by T. Itil
(St. Louis), Ian Oswald (Edinburgh) and A. Kales (Los Angeles);
on evoked potentials by C. Shagass (Philadelphia); on contingent
negative variation by Dongier (Liege) provide parallel and
supporting evidence for consistent neurophysiological effects,
but the data of these studies is more recent, less complete and,
as yet, not well codified.
Again

my

thanks for your most interesting presentations.

Sincerely yours,
