Donald L. Schomer received his MD degree from the University of Michigan in 1972. He joined the Department of Neurology at Beth Israel Hospital/Harvard University in 1980 and is Full Professor at Harvard University. He developed the Comprehensive Epilepsy Program and the Laboratory of Clinical Neurophysiology at BIDMC. He received the "Distinguished Life-time Achievement" awards from both the American Epilepsy Society and the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society and now serves as the Associate Editor for the Annals of Neurology for matters related to either epilepsy or central neurophysiology.Fernando H. Lopes da Silva received his MD from the University of Lisbon and PhD from the University of Utrecht in 1970. In 1980, he moved to the University of Amsterdam as Full Professor of Physiology and Head of the Centre of Neurosciences of the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences. He holds several Honoris Causa degrees, and a knighthood of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

There is no doubt that this textbook is a classic in the world of Neurophysiology. This newest version does not disappoint and is, in my opinion, an essential resource for any Department.
