Current Practice of Clinical Electroencephalography, 3rd edition reflects the transition of the field to an all-digital environment, with fundamental changes in data recording, analysis, and interpretation.

Current Practice of Clinical Electroencephalography, 3rd edition explains the most advanced instrumentation and techniques and their use in evaluating various disorders, and includes over 500 illustrations depicting normal and abnormal findings. There are also 50 interactive, supplemental images along with their clinically relevant features - this mean users can easily manipulate the data to see the effects of changing montages, gains, filter settings, and other display controls.

Features:

• Covers the full range of applications of EEG and evoked potentials
• Describes in detail the most advanced instrumentation and techniques
• Includes the transition in the field to an all digital environment
• Explains the fundamental changes in data recording,analysis and interpretation
