Atlas of EEG patterns /

This text orients the reader to the basics of EEG, helps to identify characteristic EEG wave features, and leads the reader to the correct EEG diagnosis through a table that organizes all of the EEG patterns according to wave features. It includes the full range of EEG patterns from the common rhyth...
