he thoroughly revised and greatly expanded Second Edition of this classic work covers the full range of applications of EEG and evoked potentials in current clinical practice. The most advanced instrumentation and techniques and their use in evaluating various disorders are discussed by more than 20 of the foremost authorities in the field. The Second Edition's expanded scope includes three chapters on visual, brainstem auditory, and somatosensory evoked potentials, an analysis of the electrophysiology of multiple sclerosis, and in-depth coverage of long-term monitoring, intracranial recording, intraoperative monitoring, and use of polysomnography in sleep disorders. The normal EEG and abnormal EEG findings seen in epilepsy, focal lesions, diffuse encephalopathies, dementia, organic brain syndromes, coma, and brain death are described in detail and close attention is given to the effects of drugs on EEG readings. Nearly 500 illustrations clarify the text and depict both normal and abnormal EEG findings
