Abstract
When our studies on the EEG during cognition were begun a few years ago, the main question was whether the spontaneous EEG contains any information about cognitive processes or, rather, would turn out as a sort of “brain garbage”, which it was usually considered to be until recently. Our results taught us that the spontaneous EEG, in effect, contains a wealth of information about mental processes; therefore we have applied our method on a number of other mental tasks such as reading (Petsche et al. 1986a, 1987).
