Electroencephalography, abbreviated as EEG, is an electrophysiological monitoring method to record the electrical activity of the brain. It is typically noninvasive, with the electrodes placed along the scalp in order to measure voltage fluctuations resulting from ionic current within the neurons of the brain. The diagnostic applications of electroencephalography generally focus on event-related potentials or spectral content. Event-related potentials investigate potential fluctuations time-locked to an event, such as 'stimulus onset' or 'button press'. It can also be used to diagnose epilepsy, sleep disorders, depth of anesthesia, coma, encephalopathies, stroke, tumors, brain death, and other focal brain disorders. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the field of clinical electroencephalography. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and the evolution of clinical electroencephalography are examined in detail. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
