The Art of Artifacting is the premier source for beginners who want to learn the art and science of reading and artifacting EEGs. Written by Cory Hammond who is a noted expert in the field of neurofeedback. Includes an EEG “practicum” that gives practice artifacting with an answer key to check accuracy.
One of the better organized and concise EEG books out there. Easy readability as far as medical/neurology textbooks are concerned. Great reference book.
Written by a neurologist (Hughes) feed up with lengthy and overly complex medical books. Topics are presented in simple and clear language with the goal of having the reader finish the book with a relatively good understanding of EEG in clinical practice in about 200 pages. One of the better EEG summary books out there.
Electroencephalography: Basic Principles, Clinical Applications, and Related Fields
Niedermeyer and Lopes da Silva’s Electroencephalography is simply the industry standard EEG reference book. An extremely dense and lengthy read with over 1700 pages. Think of this book more as a reference book that will be read slowly over time or on an “as needed” basis.
Fisch and Spehlmann’s EEG Primer: Basic Principles of Digital and Analog EEG
This book teaches basic and advanced concepts on learning how to classify and interpret the raw EEG. This is not an EEG atlas, though it does include images when appropriate. Probably the best balance of essential information presented in a reasonable number of pages of any EEG book. This is the book I would assign as a course textbook if I were to each an EEG class.
Goldensohn’s EEG Interpretation: Problems of Overreading and Underreading
Another top notch extremely thorough EEG atlas. What sets this atlas apart from others is its huge size (15.4 x 12.2) with large readable text and very nice pictures of the EEG. It’s expensive cost also sets it apart, but well worth it.
Introduction to Quantitative EEG and Neurofeedback, Second Edition: Advanced Theory and Applications
This is newly released book that I have not read yet; however, I have heard from several respected colleagues that this is a vital and important release for the field of neurofeedback.
Low Resolution Brain Electromagnetic Tomography (LORETA): Basic Concepts and Clinical Applications
The first known book on the increasingly popular LORETA brain imaging software. Written by Rex Cannon, PhD with a forward by Joel F. Lubar, PhD. This is the essential “missing manual” for LORETA. Also includes in-depth discussion of clinical applications of LORETA, such as for depression and ADHD.
Neurofeedback and State Regulation in ADHD: A Therapy Without Medication
An essential book by Werner Van den Bergh, M.D. that examines the neurophysiological causes of ADHD. Although geared toward the SMR-neurofeedback treatment of ADHD, the author provides a excellent review of the EEG characteristics of ADHD and disturbed sleep and its relevance to ADHD, particularly with children. The author reaches the somewhat stunning conclusion that the brainwaves of children with ADHD are similar to healthy people who are sleep deprived.
Primer of EEG: With A Mini-Atlas
A no nonsense overview (about 200 pages) of the essentials of EEG with a small atlas detailing various EEG waveforms. Includes a 2 page appendixed overview of the effects of several medications on the EEG.
Quantitative EEG Analysis Methods and Clinical Applications (Engineering in Medicine & Biology)
An advanced and technical look at QEEG methods and clinical applications. Includes comprehensive coverage of physiological foundations, statistical analyses, epilepsy detection, neurological injuries and sleep monitoring, biomarkers for depression, combined brain imaging techniques, and more.
An excellent overview of many of the currently available QEEG databases. Written by Joel Lubar, PhD, a leading researcher and clinician in the field of neurofeedback and QEEG.
Quantitative EEG, Event-Related Potentials and Neurotherapy
This is newly released book that I have not read yet; however, I have heard from several respected colleagues that this is a vital and important release for the field of neurofeedback.
The Johns Hopkins Atlas of Digital EEG: An Interactive Training Guide
A thorough EEG atlas with excellent cross referencing among various EEG wave forms. Includes an interesting but of questionable sound quality DVD that features a live neurologist review of an included record.
