A weekly programme about work in the world of science
The Study of Emotion
The last of three talks by Philip L. Short
' Brain Rhythms and Emotion '
The speaker explains how brain rhythms normally associated with young children are also found in an adult who behaves aggressively. He also describes important results that have come from studying a group of young delinquents. In this way fresh light is being thrown, not only on individual differences in emotion and thinking, but on some of the problems of social discord and crime.
