ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
First, I want to thank my Chairperson, Dr. Dawn Bowers,
for teaching me the skills needed to become a competent
researcher and writer. I also want to thank Dr. Russell
Bauer for explaining psychophysiological methodology to me
in a way that I could easily understand. I am also grateful
to Dr. Heilman for being available to answer my questions
about neurology, help me to choose patients, and map out the
CT/MRI scans. I would like to thank my other committee
members, Drs. Bradley, Rao, and Fennell for contributing
their time and expertise to this project.
Additionally, I would like to thank the many people who
provided technical support for this project. Samel Celebi
wrote all the computer porgrams and set up the interface
between hardware and software. Barbara Haas taught me
appropriate electrode placement and forced me to use an
impedence meter. I am also grateful to those individuals at
the West Roxbury VAMC who helped me to finish this project.
Bill Milberg provided me with the time and computer
facilities needed to conduct data reduction and analyses.
Patrick Kilduff patiently helped me to reduce the tremendous
amount of data I had collected. Also, Gina McGlinchy
