T2  - Atlas of Video-EEG Monitoring
AB  - This  chapter  provides  a  brief  introduction  to  fundamental  aspects  of  electroencephalography  (EEG),  with  a  special  emphasis  on  aspects  of  EEG  that  are  particularly  relevant  to  video-EEG  monitoring  (VEM).  The  sections  below  will  summarize  the  biological  basis  of  EEG,  as  well  as  its  nomenclature,  techniques  for  display,  normal  patterns,  common  artifacts,  and  relevant  abnormalities.  Most  readers  will  already  be  familiar  with  common  patterns  found  in  the  normal  adult  EEG,  but  several  excellent  references  and  atlases  are  available  for  more  detailed  discussions  of  these  topics,  as  well  as  unusual  variants  and  neonatal  and  pediatric  EEG  patterns.1–6  Although  all  components  of  routine  EEG  are  applicable  to  VEM,  several  aspects  of  VEM  introduce  additional  complexities  in  the  acquisition,  display,  and  accurate  interpretation  of  the  EEG.  These  aspects  are  discussed  in  more  detail  in  subsequent  chapters,  with  this  chapter  focusing  on  routine  EEG  interpretation  for  the  beginning  electroencephalographer.
