He analyzes, with vivid examples, the rhythmic patterns of personality revealed in different "brain prints," and discusses what light these new electronic processes can throw on memory, vision, fatigue, sleep, hypnotism, genius, lunacy, sex disturbances, crime, and other problems of everyday interest.

With an extraordinary gift for language, a minimum of speculation and a maximum of demonstrated fact, Dr Walter has written a truly exciting book, a landmark in the advance of human knowledge.
