Handbook of EEG Interpretation

Your essential, quick-access guide to accurate EEG interpretation across adults and pediatrics.  

Now in its fourth edition, this handbook is designed for emerging as well as experienced clinicians involved in clinical neurophysiology. Topics and care setting covered include outpatient and inpatient, long-term EEG monitoring, critical care, and operating room recordings. Additionally, outpatient ambulatory EEG monitoring and the technology involved are supplemented with representative samples for those in a busy practice with time limitations. 

A clear and portable guide to EEG interpretation designed for clinical practice, written by leading experts in neurology, epilepsy, and EEG--this handbook delivers concise explanations of relevant features in EEG with corresponding visual examples to provide rapid reference  for accurate interpretations. Covering normal and abnormal patterns in both adult and pediatric patients this book enables confident interpretation by the reader to help guide clinical decision-making. Updated content reflects current technologies, expanded applications, and evolving neurophysiology practice. 

What’s New:
