Description The electroencephalogram (EEG) is essential to the accurate diagnosis of many neurologic

disorders. The Second Edition of Atlas of EEG Patterns sharpens readers’ interpretation skills with an even larger array of both normal and abnormal EEG pattern figures and text designed to optimize recognition of telltale findings. Trainees will benefit from hundreds of EEG figures, help- ing them spot abnormalities and identify the pattern name. Experienced neurologists will find the book excellent as a quick reference and when trying to distinguish a finding from similarly appear- ing patterns. Organized by EEG pattern, the Atlas of EEG Patterns orients you to the basics of EEG, helps the reader identify the characteristic EEG wave features and leads you to the EEG diagnosis through a table that organizes all of the EEG patterns according to their wave features. The Atlas of EEG Patterns includes the full range of EEG patterns from the common rhythms to the rare findings, and it also includes numerous examples of artifacts.
