Human Alcohol Investigators Group meeting minutes and agenda.

Wednesday, 22 DEC; 3:30-4:30 in IPR Library

3:30-4::30 Too many people were gone or snowed in to make the planned agenda work. It has been combined with the original 1/5/05 agenda and postponed to JANUARY 19 when all we be back in town. In the meantime, Sean will retrieve the DNA samples for all of the IRPG clamping subjects who completed both alcohol and placebo sessions, no matter how well the clamp went and independent of their sib’s status.

We did discuss the report on the biosensor project meeting that was held in Indy on the 17^th. Minutes are attached.

We did discuss the IRPG database and agreed that Sandi would sit down with Leah to develop a prototype of the IRA analysis of prospective data (not the adaptive indices; just initial response to

alcohol).

We agreed that the EEG analysis we are applying to IRPG clamp data would also be applied to IRPG-NDB subjects (~350 subjects only at baseline, and that Elizabeth May would get involved in the analysis of asymmetry in power distribution on the scalp.
