BIOPHYSICAL STUDIES Considerable time was spent in installing apparatus for photic stimulation in the electroencephalographic room. At first, photic stimulation induced artifacts but this was eliminated by elevating the light.

The apparatus for measuring the concentration of alcohol in the breath was received from the manufacturer after over-hayl and was still found to be performing poorly. After correspondence with the manufacturer, the entire instrument was gone over, circuits traced and the valves checked. The chief difficulty appeared to be a bad exciter tama. A photographic copy stand was constructed with scrap material. The usual services on instruments and apparatus for the entire unit were rendered. Declassified by 187475 date 4 FEB 1977.
