Abstract
This book presents the fundamentals of electroencephalography in an organized and lucid manner. The author's extensive experience at the University of Michigan Medical School provides a wealth of theoretical and practical material concerning cerebral electrical activity in health and disease. Basic electrical principles are discussed by Basman in an introductory chapter, followed by chapters on instrumentation and electrical fields. Six chapters are devoted to the neurophysiologic basis of the electroencephalogram and these provide the foundation for a function-ori ented approach to electroencephalographic interpretation. Ample illustrative electroencephalographic tracings present the various normal and abnormal patterns, and the value of the computer averaging technique in studying cerebral evoked responses is shown. The author wisely emphasizes the principle that no brain wave pattern is considered specific for establishing a clinical diagnosis, but the usual electroencephalographic abnormalities encountered in the major categories of central nervous system disorders are described in the final third of
