Book Description
Gerald Ulrich, MD provides an authoritative, advanced guide to theory-based EEG interpretation that is grounded in the Berlin Psychiatry School Model of EEG-Vigilance. The Berlin model is not well known in the United States. Instead, EEG is dominated by data-driven Q-EEG where one looks at mathematical correlations without a coherent theory to guide interpretation. This is the first known published book on this topic. Dr. Ulrich's aim is to help the reader increase self-confidence in EEG assessment in clinical practice or research and to facilitate more reliable and valid EEG interpretations. He provides a skilled synthesis of decades of EEG research alongside his expert insights from his 40 years of clinical experience and research with EEG. The reader will learn how to visually discern spatio-temporal patterns with 132 high-quality examples of EEG images - the majority within the course of spontaneous resting EEGs. Additionally, the EEG-pathology of psychiatric syndromes and the impact of common psychotropic medications on the EEG are described in detail. Another important contribution is the identification of a common type of biological artifact which has gone unnoticed in research that is likely responsible for the unsatisfactory test-retest reliability and questionable validity of the EEG; the author proposes a simple solution to this vexing artifact problem. In the second part of the book, the reader is introduced to novel QEEG procedures, especially related to EEG dynamics, which can be regarded as meaningful within the theory of EEG-vigilance.

Analyzing Neural Time Series Data
Author: Mike X Cohen
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262019876
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 615
Book Description
A comprehensive guide to the conceptual, mathematical, and implementational aspects of analyzing electrical brain signals, including data from MEG, EEG, and LFP recordings. This book offers a comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of analyzing electrical brain signals. It explains the conceptual, mathematical, and implementational (via Matlab programming) aspects of time-, time-frequency- and synchronization-based analyses of magnetoencephalography (MEG), electroencephalography (EEG), and local field potential (LFP) recordings from humans and nonhuman animals. It is the only book on the topic that covers both the theoretical background and the implementation in language that can be understood by readers without extensive formal training in mathematics, including cognitive scientists, neuroscientists, and psychologists. Readers who go through the book chapter by chapter and implement the examples in Matlab will develop an understanding of why and how analyses are performed, how to interpret results, what the methodological issues are, and how to perform single-subject-level and group-level analyses. Researchers who are familiar with using automated programs to perform advanced analyses will learn what happens when they click the “analyze now” button. The book provides sample data and downloadable Matlab code. Each of the 38 chapters covers one analysis topic, and these topics progress from simple to advanced. Most chapters conclude with exercises that further develop the material covered in the chapter. Many of the methods presented (including convolution, the Fourier transform, and Euler's formula) are fundamental and form the groundwork for other advanced data analysis methods. Readers who master the methods in the book will be well prepared to learn other approaches.

Behavioral Electroencephalography
Author: Gerald Ulrich
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527592618
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
This book bridges the gap between human behavior in its widest sense and electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain physics. More profoundly expressed, it will contribute to the abolition of the schisma in progress between the “exact sciences” and the “humanities”. Nearly every outstanding scientist of the last century was both physicist and biologist, while the well-known, so-called biologists, as a rule, turned into physicists or chemists. As it argues, the origin of our life world, including the immaterial mind, would be reconcilable with the already known fundamental laws of physics with a unitary monism going back to the Apeiron of the Greek philosopher Anaximander being re-actualized about 2600 years later by Schelling and Hegel in the romantic era of philosophy and in the last century by Russel.

Epistemology of Psychiatry Between Applied Biological Sciences and Humanities
Author: Gerald Ulrich
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1036414930
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 138
Book Description
Within the last decades, psychiatry became a "Galilean" discipline following the example set by physics and chemistry. In misapprehension of the original semantics of biology which meant the science of the living, physicians and even psychiatrists referred to themselves as "Biologists" or "Biological Psychiatrists", even though psychoses were considered as an expression of a deficiency of cerebral transmitter metabolism. By this semantic faux pas "Bios" and therewith all phenomena of the living were eliminated from psychiatry. A minority of psychiatrists became more and more aware that medicine and especially Psychiatry lacked a theoretical foundation. As evidence for that, one may cite demands, according to which psychiatry should be abolished as a discipline of itself and instead being integrated into a widespread integrative neuroscience. The present monograph counteracts such ambitions emphatically and tries to play a modest part in contributing to the badly needed development of a theoretical consciousness in psychiatry.

Clinical Electroencephalography
Author: Oriano Mecarelli
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030045730
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 809
Book Description
This book describes the developments and improvements in electroencephalography (EEG). In recent years, digital technology has replaced analog equipments, and it is now possible to easily record and store EEG tracings and to quickly recall previously acquired material for subsequent analysis. In addition, not only static figures, but also electronic supplementary materials can be included in books, enabling EEGs to be viewed in real-time. In clinical practice, EEG still represents the most important functional examination in the study CNS development and its anatomical and physiological integrity throughout life. In the pathological context, EEG provides indispensable diagnostic information for classification of epileptic syndromes, and it is also valuable in all the other CNS diseases (infectious, cerebrovascular, neurodegenerative, etc). Furthermore, monitoring EEG can be widely used in emergency settings, such as emergency departments or intensive care units. In comatose patients, EEG provides information regarding prognosis and evaluation of the sedative effect of anesthetic drugs. Written by a group of leading national and international experts, it offers a substantial, yet practical, EEG compendium, which serves as a reference resource for physicians and neurodiagnostic technologists as well as physicians-in-training, researchers, practicing electroencephalographers and students.
