Abstract
Correlation patterns between the electroencephalographic activity of both hemispheres in adult subjects were obtained. the morphology of these patterns for one subject was compared with another subject's patterns during control situations without communication, and during sessions in which direct communication WAS stimulated. Neither verbalization nor visual or physical contact are necessary for direct communication to occur. the interhemispheric correlation patterns for each subject were observed to become similar during the communication sessions as compared to the control situations. These effects are not due to nonspecific factors such as habituation or fatigue. the results support the syntergic theory proposed by one of the authors (Grinberg-Zylberbaum).Keywords
