Description This clinical atlas consists of both a DVD and companion text that cover basic classifications and definitions of seizures and epilepsy,
EEG technology and clinical EEG before proceeding to the key content of EEG traces and video samples.
The DVD allows you to view

key principles, scope, limitations, diagnostic importance, and prognostic relevance for each interpretation.
