 The diagnostic use of clinical neurophysiology is key to almost all practices of neurology, and all neurology departments (hospitals, clinics, academic depts., group practices) conduct these studies. In fact, there is growth within departments and in the number of neurologists performing and interpreting these studies. Another trend being seen is that neurologists who have focused, for example, on doing EMGs are now learning to do EEGs to add to their expertise and to departmental revenue. Very often, the clinical neurophysiology divisions within a department are the only profitable entity. This DVD disk covers 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 companion text provides many black and white images of records and line drawings. It also contains introductory information on the performance and interpretation of routine EEG and video monitoring, including basic normal and abnormal patterns and clinical correlations
