Reihe: Making Sense of

This book educates the reader on the cellular and neurophysiological aspects of Electroencephalography (EEG), alongside its technical and engineering principles. Providing a background on normal EEG, the content includes the clinical applications of EEG in epilepsies and other brain disorders in order to provide the reader with the necessary knowledge to use EEG in clinical practice.

Aimed at those who in the earlier stages of using EEGs, this resource provides an effective overview and offers a key resource to anyone using EEGs.
