Other Research:
Co-directed a Title IVC Research Project on the development of a neurological diagnostic of learning disabilities based on the Fast Fourier Analysis of the EEG, at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee, from September 1981 to September 1983. The project included the collection of EEG data, the setting up and managing of a data base, supervision of undergraduate research assistants, analysis of data, presentation of proposals and findings to funding committee, and the writing and submission of the paper for publication.
