In the normal brain potentials of rabbits, the aetiology of the irregularity and the relationship between the chief-, the quick- and the slow-wave were considered as the same as in the human brain potentials.
In regard to the regularity, the normal brain potentials of rabbits were divided into three types; namely the regular, the irregular and the intermediate type. By means of “Thompson's Rejection Test” the chief-wave period of rabbits, which corresponds to the human alpha-wave, was 0.10-0.23 seconds in the regular type.
In the same animal, at the same locality, under the same condition, the variation in time of the average period over 100 waves was 5-10%, although the interval of the measurements was short. It corresponds very nearly to that in the human brain potentials.
The local difference was only a few per cent for the average period of about 400 waves, it was simlar to that of the human brain potentials and was not found significant, however, when it was statistically examined. The local feature, as maintained by Kornmüller, wasnot noticed.
As above mentioned, in regard to its regularity, variation in time and local difference of its average period, brain potentials, and essentially the same as the human's except the chief-wave-period was about 1.7 times longer than the human alpha waveperiod.
