Neurophysiology Testing Handbook: Waveform Interpretation, Electrode Placement Technique, Artifact Recognition, and Reporting Standards for Neurodiagn (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798188345259)

You place the electrodes. You catch the artifact. You decide whether that tracing is real or noise. Every neurodiagnostic technologist has stared at a squiggle at 2 a.m. and wondered whether it was a seizure, a blink, or a loose lead.

The gap between a routine EEG technique course and confident, independent bedside judgment is where careers stall. Certification exams reward precision. Real patients reward instinct built on precision. Most training resources give you one or the other.

This handbook gives you both.

• Waveform interpretation for adult, pediatric, and neonatal EEG, from normal maturation through epileptiform and encephalopathic patterns
• Electrode placement technique under the International 10-20 System, including impedance troubleshooting that actually holds up during a difficult study
• Artifact recognition across physiologic, technical, and environmental sources, so you stop mistaking a bruxism burst for a seizure
• Nerve conduction studies and needle EMG technique, motor unit analysis, and the entrapment and myopathy patterns you will see every week
• Evoked potentials, intraoperative monitoring, autonomic testing, and polysomnography fundamentals in one working reference
• Reporting standards and documentation language that reads as competent to the physician signing your study

Sixty-plus clinical illustrations show electrode montages, waveform morphology, and instrumentation setups with exact anatomical labeling, reachable instantly through a QR-coded video course bundled into this 2026 edition.

Written by a practicing clinician for the technologist who wants to stop guessing and start recognizing.
