The psychodermogalvanogram is a modern electrographical procedure whose main function depends upon a Wheatstone Bridge set at a constant voltage and with variations of intensity set up in direct relation to the conductivity of the skin. The spontaneous psychodermogalvanogram (SPDG) makes it possible to evaluate patients that could be either of a: a) normal reaction; b) hyporeactional; c) hyperreactional; d) disreactional or unstable. The psycholinguistic psychogalvanogram (PLPG) enables the possibility of distinguishing the different forms of behaviour: A) Normal reactions (+/- 80% of our clinical reports). The comportance of youths not hypnotizable or hypnocomplacent pacients, geriatrics, psychopatic personalities, electroepylepsies (GME), juvenile diabetics, etc. The PLPG presents the typical reactions in the positive answers (a marked increase in the biophasic or monophasic waves lengths) or the negative (a reduction in the volume of both waves lengths). The Time Reaction of Psycholinguistic factor (TRPL) varies from 70 to 110 ms. The comprehension of guestaltic questions arising and a repetition of the same shorten the TRPL. Rapid reaction of physic stress. Common to EEF there is an increased activity in the beta rythm prefontal left of the band 16 to 27 c/s and the paroxisms alpha prior to the right temporal of band 8 c/s and a duration of 3 to 5 seconds, equivalent answers to the PLPG. The cardiorespiratory rythm increase in relation to psychic stress. The Rheoencephalogram (REG) revealed an increase in the flown pulse of anterior cerebral artery of left hemisphere and the middle cerebral artery of right hemisphere. B) Abnormal reactions (+/- 11% of our clinical reports), which includes deep oligophrenics, schizophrenics, delirants and electroepilepsias (PME). The PLPG shows a dominance in the monophasic waves lengths at low variation similar to those found in arteriosclerosis. Paradoxically, the REG shows a marked reduction of the right carotic cerebral artery (genetic modification?). On the other hand the PLPG shows practically no reactional changes. C) Hyper reactives or sofronizables (+/- 9% of our clinical reports) includes those who can be hypnotized or are supersensitive. The PLPG reveals biondic cycles which are grouped in convexed arcs on the rise, reaching levels of 4 to 6 positive reaction, or in concave arcs on the decline reaching negative reactions. The TRPL is very brief, from 30 to 55 ms. The EEG shows in the left hemisphere, on the beta rithm basalis, alpha paroxysm of 8 c/s and 1 to 2 seconds duration wich are recorded in the prefrontal area. The right hemispheric recording, registers paroxysms of a large quantity in the theta rythm with a frequency of 5 to 6 cycles per second and a duration of 5 to 6 seconds which interrupted the beta band in a frequency of 14 to 17 c/s, similar to those registered during the drowsiness. The EOG shows very slow wyw movement. The ECG reduced its frequency and the electrospirogram (ESG) increased its volume. The pupils are parcial miotics...
