Description
This work is an introduction to the methods used in measuring electrical charges in the brain. It should help clinicians to increase their understanding of methods and improve their day-to-day techniques. The book also demonstrates any assumptions in the methodologies and gives guidelines on interpreting results. It features details on recent techniques; clear and understandable accounts of established methods; and worked examples and case studies.
