The authors demonstrate a significant relationship between EEG patterns of psychiatric patients and the degree and quality of their social behavior. Normal EEG patients are more popular than those with either a 14 and 6 EEG pattern, who tend to be socially rejected, or those with other EEG abnormalities, who tend to be socially isolated.
