Within the broader context of our investigations into the heredity of the human EEG, we analysed the EEGs of 28 pairs of monozygotic and 21 pairs of dizygotic twins who were separated as infants and reared apart. The principal goal of this study was to determine the degree to which environmental factors possibly influence the development of a person's EEG. Monozygotic twins reared apart were, with respect to their EEGs, only slightly less similar to each other (if there is any difference at all) than the same person is to himself over time. For dizygotic twins reared apart, we verified the findings of our previous study, namely, that the average within-pair similarity of EEGs estimated from a sufficiently representative sample of fraternal twins was significantly higher than the average inter-individual similarity of EEGs obtained from unrelated persons. The results on both monozygotic and dizygotic twins, yielded conclusive proof that the individual EEG pattern is predominantly determined by hereditary factors.
在我们对人类脑电图遗传特性进行更广泛研究的背景下，我们分析了28对同卵双胞胎和21对异卵双胞胎的脑电图，这些双胞胎在婴儿期就被分开抚养。本研究的主要目的是确定环境因素可能影响一个人脑电图发育的程度。分开抚养的同卵双胞胎，就其脑电图而言，彼此之间的相似性（如果确实存在任何差异的话）只比同一个人在不同时间的脑电图相似性略低。对于分开抚养的异卵双胞胎，我们验证了我们之前研究的结果，即从足够有代表性的异卵双胞胎样本估计的脑电图平均对内相似性显著高于从无血缘关系的人获得的脑电图平均个体间相似性。同卵双胞胎和异卵双胞胎的研究结果都提供了确凿的证据，证明个体脑电图模式主要由遗传因素决定。
