Abstract
We work in a research group at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, and one of this group’s primary missions is that of studying normal and abnormal physiological brain functions. The physical tools for carrying on these studies include two medical cyclotrons, a radiopharmaceutical chemistry laboratory, the Positron Emission Transaxial Tomograph (PETT), and several digital computers. In our group are chemists, physicians, engineers, computer scientists, and a variety of professional technologists. Others involved in the research program are the human and baboon subjects whose brain functions we measure.
