The significance of abnormal electroencephalographic findings in asymptomatic individuals is not well defined. The USAF School of Aerospace Medicine has undertaken a followup study of 30 candidates for special aerospace missions, who were found to have abnormal EEG (Electroencephalogram) findings, during the period 1961-1965. Interest was generated by the report of an overt seizure disorder in one individual. The survey has disclosed the occurrence of two (probably three) fatal aircraft accidents, one fatal automobile accident, two nonfatal aircraft accidents, and three aircraft incidents, involving members of the group. Implications with regard to physical standards for aircrew members are discussed. (Author)
