Thoroughly updated and expanded Third Edition of the most trusted resource for anyone involved in EEG interpretation. Designed for on-the-go reference in the clinic or at the bedside, Handbook of EEG Interpretation concisely covers the fundamental components of EEG in clinical practice with graphic examples of classic EEG presentations and essential text throughout. Six new chapters have been added to address areas of growing importance with new dedicated chapters on technical aspects and artifacts of recording. With chapters written by prominent experts, this portable reference includes updated examples and color images new to this edition to reflect current advances in the field.

Using a visual approach to identifying EEG waveforms, this EEG handbook is the prime point-of-care reference on all major EEG topics: normal and abnormal variants, epileptiform and nonepileptiform abnormalities, adult and pediatric seizures, status epilepticus, ICU EEG, and sleep; in addition to ambulatory and video-EEG monitoring, electrocorticography, and magnetoencephalography. Essential “bottom-line” information in every chapter helps guide clinicians through the many challenges of EEG interpretation to improve patient outcomes. Practical tips from authors are included in a user-friendly manner. Designed for rapid retrieval and structured review, this handbook is a highly useful tool for neurology residents and fellows, clinicians, and technologists in search of reliable EEG information, regardless of specialty or level of training.
