EEG Spectral Analysis
TLDR
This chapter covers some background principles of spectral analysis and introduces important issues that researchers must consider during EEG spectral analysis, and discusses the various methodological decisions the researchers have to make during the analysis.
The Nature of EEG Reactivity to Light, Sound, and Pain Stimulation in Neurosurgical Comatose Patients Evaluated by a Quantitative Method
TLDR
New knowledge is revealed about the nature of EEG-R, which contribute to the development of more reliable and objective clinical procedures for outcome prediction, in a study of 39 comatose neurosurgical patients.
EEG in psychiatric practice: to do or not to do?
TLDR
This article describes specific EEG changes associated with major psychiatric disorders and offers pragmatic considerations when referring a patient for EEG, emphasising the fact that the information provided to the neurophysiologist plays a crucial role in interpreting the EEG recording in a diagnostically meaningful way.
Quantitative Electroencephalography and Behavioural Correlates of Daytime Sleepiness in Chronic Stroke
TLDR
The results indicate sustained slowing in the qEEG in chronic stroke, but in contrast to healthy controls, these changes are not related to perceived sleepiness.
Removal of movement-induced EEG artifacts: current state of the art and guidelines.
TLDR
Recommendations for the use of each method based on independent component analysis depending on the intensity of the movement are provided and the advantages and disadvantages of the methods are highlighted.
Interpreting EEG alpha activity
Removal of movement-induced EEG artifacts: current state of the art and guidelines
TLDR
Recommendations for the use of each method depending on the intensity of the movement in EEG data during locomotion are provided and the advantages and disadvantages of the methods are highlighted.
Quantitative assessments of extracellular EEG to classify specific features of main phases of seizure acquisition based on kindling model in Rat
Computational Intelligence Approaches to Brain Signal Pattern Recognition
TLDR
The objective is to identify patterns in electrophysiological brain activity that are identified within the realm of pattern recognition, which facilitates a more generic description of existing approaches, and development or reuse of suitable pattern recognition methods.
Wavelet skeletons in sleep EEG-monitoring as biomarkers of early diagnostics of mild cognitive impairment.
TLDR
The wavelet-skeleton approach is used to find some characteristic patterns in the electroencephalograms of healthy adult patients and patients with cognitive dysfunctions that can be interpreted as related to the activity in the motor cortex, as a candidate for developing the criteria for early objective MCI.

TLDR
Understanding Berger’s path to the EEG within the context of his own scientific era and life experiences highlights both the familiar and the foreign in Berger's story, and provides a historical prelude to the modern investigation of the brain and its functions.
Mapping the Brain

This essay presents a brief review and evaluation of some guiding concepts during the past century of inquiry into localization of brain functions as one useful set of approaches to defining functional localization.
