A bstract : Based upon electroencephalographic, clinical and experimental findings in the field of geriatric psychiatry, this article presents a group of working hypotheses which may lead to: 1) a better understanding of some EEG phenomena in terms of the overall clinical picture (and vice versa); and 2) more specific questions for further study. A diagram is presented which summarizes the more important points. This approach is prompted by the marked difference between the types of geriatric EEG, and also certain EEG‐clinical correlations—phenomena which make this field particularly interesting for the investigation of psychophysiological relationships.
