About the Book

This edition of the EEG Primer has been renamed Spehlmann's EEG Primer in honour of the late Dr. Rainer Spehlmann who is remembered for his contributions of neuroscience and for his dedication to the advancement of clinical neurophysiology. The purpose of Spehlmann's EEG Primer is to introduce the fundamentals of EEG recording and interpretation in a clear and concise fashion. It is a primer in the sense that the text focusses on well established techniques and clinical correlations; those which are either controversial or not clinically useful are not discussed. Information that is essential for physicians seeking special certification in clinical neurophysiology has been included in the revised text and newly created appendix. The addition of the American EEG Society Guidelines in EEG, the International Federation of Societies for EEG and Clinical Neurophysiology, as well as a more extensive index, help make this edition a useful laboratory reference.
