Abstract:
A visual and computer-assisted analysis was made of basic brain biological function in 45 EEG recordings of alpha waves alone or mostly alpha waves. The study revealed abnormal frequency of alpha waves in patients with chronic alcoholism (60%) and in people chronically exposed to carbon disulphide (73.4%). The abnormalities most probably reflect dysfunction of the CNS.

01:23Brain Waves
Brain waves are electrical signals generated by the neurons in the brain, which are regularly monitored to measure mental activities. Brain waves and their frequency ranges can be measured using an electroencephalogram or EEG. There are four main types of brain waves, each with distinct characteristics:
01:29Disturbances in Heart Rhythm
Arrhythmia or dysrhythmia refers to an abnormal heart rhythm caused by a defect in the heart's conduction system. It can cause the heart to beat irregularly, too quickly, or too slowly, leading to symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, and fainting. Factors such as stress, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, certain drugs, congenital defects, diseases, and electrolyte abnormalities can trigger arrhythmias.
