Abstract
PARAMETERS of the Fourier transform of averaged evoked potentials (AEP) have recently been related to psychometric intelligence1,2 and I have attempted a similar analysis of a larger sample of subjects of high and low intelligence. This was carried out several months before the publication of the previous reports. Because the original objective was not replication, there are inevitably some major differences of technique. In general, this is a field in which meaningful replication is difficult3, but there are grounds for believing that the differences between this and the previous techniques and recording locations probably do not explain the different results.
