| Description | The principles of anatomy and physiology necessary for understanding brain wave recordings made from the scalp are briefly discussed. Brain waves evoked by sounds are then described and certain of their features are related to the physical aspects of the stimulus and the psychological state of the listener. It is proposed that data obtained through probes located outside the head can reveal a large amount of detail about brain activity. It is argued that analysis of such records enables one to detect the response of the nervous system to an acoustic message at the moment of its inception at the ear, and to follow the progress of the acoustic message up through the various brain levels as progressively more complex operations are performed upon it. Even those brain events responsible for the highest level of signal processing - distinguishing between similar signals and making decisions about them - seem to generate characteristic and identifiable electrical waves. |
