* Provides complete technical information on performing and interpreting an EEG * Offers concise, understandable explanations of how to deal with the normal and abnormal EEG * Completely updated to include new EEG patterns discovered since publication of the First edition

The standard-setting clinical electroencephalography textbook has been rewritten for the next decade of EEG technicians and resident and practicing neurologists. This Third Edition reflects the transition of the field to an all-digital environment, with fundamental changes in data recording, analysis, and interpretation. Drs. Ebersole and Pedley are outstanding educators with extensive experience in editing two of the leading journals--Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology and Epilepsia, respectively. In this volume, Ebersole and Pedley cover the full range of applications of EEG and evoked potentials in contemporary clinical practice. The book explains the most advanced instrumentation and techniques and their use in evaluating various disorders. More than 600 illustrations depict both normal and abnormal findings.

Readable, concise, and data-driven, Current Practice of Clinical Electroencephalography, 5th Edition, delivers a comprehensive overview of the dynamic field of EEG. Dr. Aatif M. Husain leads a team of internationally recognized authors who provide updates on established areas of clinical EEG, discuss newly evolving areas, and explain neurophysiological basis of pathology to encourage understanding rather than simply pattern recognition. Now in full color throughout, it’s a must-have resource for residents, neurologists, clinical neurophysiologists, epilepsy specialists, electroneurodiagnostic technologists and practicing electroencephalographers, as well as students, trainees, and researchers—anyone who desires to stay up to date and use EEG to its fullest potential.

Why consult encyclopedic references when you only need the essentials? Practical Approach to Electroencephalography, by Mark H. Libenson, MD, equips you with just the right amount of guidance you need for obtaining optimal EEG results! It presents a thorough but readable guide to EEGs, explaining what to do, what not to do, what to look for, and how to interpret the results. It also goes beyond the technical aspects of performing EEGs by providing case studies of the neurologic disorders and conditions in which EEGs are used, making this an excellent learning tool. Abundant EEG examples throughout help you to recognize normal and abnormal EEGs in all situations. Presents enough detail and answers to questions and problems encountered by the beginner and the non-expert. Uses abundant EEG examples to help you recognize normal and abnormal EEGs in all situations. Provides expert pearls from Dr. Libenson that guide you in best practices in EEG testing. Features a user-friendly writing style from a single author that makes learning easy. Examines the performance of EEGs—along with the disorders for which they’re performed—for a resource that considers the patient and not just the technical aspects of EEGs. Includes discussions of various disease entities, like epilepsy, in which EEGs are used, as well as other special issues, to equip you to handle more cases.

This book describes the developments and improvements in electroencephalography (EEG). In recent years, digital technology has replaced analog equipments, and it is now possible to easily record and store EEG tracings and to quickly recall previously acquired material for subsequent analysis. In addition, not only static figures, but also electronic supplementary materials can be included in books, enabling EEGs to be viewed in real-time. In clinical practice, EEG still represents the most important functional examination in the study CNS development and its anatomical and physiological integrity throughout life. In the pathological context, EEG provides indispensable diagnostic information for classification of epileptic syndromes, and it is also valuable in all the other CNS diseases (infectious, cerebrovascular, neurodegenerative, etc). Furthermore, monitoring EEG can be widely used in emergency settings, such as emergency departments or intensive care units. In comatose patients, EEG provides information regarding prognosis and evaluation of the sedative effect of anesthetic drugs. Written by a group of leading national and international experts, it offers a substantial, yet practical, EEG compendium, which serves as a reference resource for physicians and neurodiagnostic technologists as well as physicians-in-training, researchers, practicing electroencephalographers and students.

This book, written by international experts in clinical epileptology and EEG, comprehensively covers the clinical and EEG features of all paediatric and adult epilepsy syndromes, as recognized by the ILAE. Each syndrome-chapter provides detailed description of the associated seizure types and the characteristic interictal findings in wakefulness and sleep, illustrated by a plethora of EEG plates. It also includes recording protocols that, adapted to available resources and complete with practical information to improve recording strategies, are designed to maximize diagnostic yield. Finally, the diagnostic confidence of the EEG report is rated according to the findings in hand and the available clinical information. A fully informative, but concise and easy-to-use, companion in the daily clinical practice for electroencephalographers and EEG technologists, but also a reference guide for epileptologists and general neurologists who care for children and adults with epilepsy.
