Review

"For individuals who are looking for a concise, but in depth, review of a specific neurophysiological technique, this is the text for you. Editors Levin and Chauvel provide a thoughtful examination of the technical characteristics of a variety of neurophysiological techniques. There do not appear to have been any corners cut in describing the technical aspects of each measurement procedure. As a whole, the volume represents a significant advancement to the rapidly evolving field of clinical neurophysiology." --Applied Neuropsychology-Adult, April 2020

Feature

Provides an up-to-date review on the practice of neurophysiological techniques in the assessment of neurological disease Explores the electrophysiological techniques used to better understand neurological function and dysfunction, first in the area of consciousness and epilepsy, then in the areas of the peripheral nervous system and sleep Focuses on new techniques, including electrocorticography, functional mapping, stereo EEG, motor evoked potentials, magnetoencephalography, laser evoked potentials, and transcranial magnetic stimulation
