W., & Shenal,B. V. Analysis of QEEG and Cardiovascular Responses to Stress. This experimentwas primarilydesignedto identifyhigher corticalcorrelatesof cardiovas- cular arousal.Low- and high-hostile,right-handedundergraduate men were identifiedusing the Cook-MedleyHostility Scale (CMHS).All participants(N = 30) completedthe cold pressor paradigm.Cardiovascular(heart rate, systolicblood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure)and electroencephalographic (beta magnitude)data were collectedbefore and after the stressor. As predicted, high-hostilesshowed greater increases of heart rate and systolic blood pressureto the stressorrelativeto low-hostiles. The primaryfindingsof this researchinclude significantlygreater beta magnituderecorded by the T3, relative to F7, electrode among Iow-hostiles.This may suggest that low-hostilesexperience left-frontal disinhibitionof left-temporalregions, thereby strengtheningcardiovascularregulation during the cold- pressor stress. In addition,high-hostilesevidencedsignificantlygreater beta magnitudeat regionscorrespondingto the F7 and F8 electrodes.This perhaps suggeststhat high-hostiles have a relative inabilityto increasetheir rostral modulationof posteriorsystemsrelated to cardiovascularreactivity/regulation. Singer,R. Carbonlesscopypaper(CCP;a.k.a. “no carbonrequired”[NCR])has been widelyused since it’s introductioninto commercein the 1970’s.AlthoughCCPcontainsneurotoxicsubstances, it was never adequatelytested for its potentialto cause neurotoxicity. Formulationsvary by manufacturers,who may keep secretthe exact components.However,recent laboratorytests have found componentsincludingformaldehyde,solvents,biphenyloil, dye precursors,and toluenediisocyanate,residuesof which have been found in air sampleswhere CCP is used under conditionsof poor ventilation. When evaluatingcases presentingwith symptomsof neurotoxicityfollowingextensive CCP exposure,there are many factorsto considerincluding:were co-workersaffected;were
