Description
While the brain is ruled to a large extent by chemical neurotransmitters, it is also a bioelectric organ. The collective study of Quantitative
ElectroEncephaloGraphs (QEEG-the conversion of brainwaves to digital form to allow for comparison between neurologically normative and
dysfunctional individuals), Event Related Potentials (ERPs - electrophysiological response to stimulus) and Neurotherapy (the process
of actually retraining brain processes to) offers a window into brain physiology and function via computer and statistical analyses of
traditional EEG patterns, suggesting innovative approaches to the improvement of attention, anxiety, mood and behavior.
The volume provides
detailed description of the various EEG rhythms and ERPs, the conventional analytic methods such as spectral analysis, and the emerging
method utilizing QEEG and ERPs. This research is then related back to practice and all existing approaches in the field of Neurotherapy
- conventional EEG-based neurofeedback, brain-computer interface, transcranial Direct Current Stimulation, and Transcranial Magnetic
Stimulation - are covered in full. Additionally, software for EEG analysis is provided on a companion web site so that the theory can
be practically utilized on the spot, and a database of the EEG algorithms described in the book can be combined with algorithms uploaded
by the user in order to compare dysfunctional and normative data.
While it does not offer the breadth provided by an edited work, this
volume does provide a level of depth and detail that a single author can deliver, as well as giving readers insight into the personl
theories of one of the preeminent leaders in the field.
Audience
Primary:
Neuropsychologists and clinical psychologists seeking new methods to assess brain fucntion and dysfunction and treatment of disorders.
Secondary:
Advanced neuroscience students studying brain function; neurologists and psychiatrists seeking alternative diagnostic/treatment
tools.
