“It not only has comprehensive details for the epileptologists but also has information on scientific investigations, technical details, and staffing models/descriptions of current practice which will be useful for a broader audience. … I would recommend this book as a good reference tool, a summary of the literature on cEEG, and a valuable resource for anyone who reads ICU EEG and who does inpatient epilepsy consults and for practicing neurointensivist.” (Stephen Hantus, Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, May 29, 2019)
