This handbook is the ideal companion for students of electroencephalography and all those conducting EEG studies. In addition to presenting in detail the scientific background of EEG and the basic principles of measuring and analyzing of EEG data, the book presents a wealth of practical troubleshooting advice, tips, and tricks for conducting EEG research. The Handbook of EEG: From Principles to Practice also covers topics such as interpreting scientific literature, how to report EEG research, and good scientific practice in the field of neuroscience. These are essential skills for students starting their scientific careers in EEG research.
