title: The significance of personality traits in EEG evaluation of drug effects.
abstract: The relatively clear and compact picture of an electroencephalographic classification of psychotropic substances becomes extremely more complex if the influence of personality traits and topographic differentiations in the EEG are taken into account. Using the example of EEG alterations under diazepam, amitriptyline, pyritinol, EMD 21-657 and caffeine, the complex structure of substance effects, personality factors, topographical differentiations, placebo reactivity and spontaneous circadian variability of the EEG is demonstrated.
