Practical Approach to Electroencephalography ""Elsevier eBook on VitalSource (Retail Access Card)"" (Hardcover)

Libenson, MD, equips you with just the right amount of guidance you need for obtaining optimal EEG results!

"It is amazing how much information is contained in a 330 pages textbook and several topics of daily clinical interest are discussed in more detail than in other much heavier textbooks. The quality of the many illustrations is also outstanding. This is the ideal textbook for the junior neurologist who starts his EEG training, but browsing it will also be a pleasure for the experienced EEG reader. It is a highly recommended "practical" textbook." Spinal Cord, Prof. Mercelis
