Main description:

Neurofeedback and Neuromodulation Techniques and Applications, Second Edition, presents the latest techniques, analysis and applications to specific patient populations and disorders. The book will serve as an extensive reference on neuromodulation techniques with its discussions on innovative applications that either currently exist or are in development. Top scholars in the field offer both the breadth needed for an introductory scholar and the depth desired by a clinical professional. This information is critical for neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists, neurophysiologists, clinical psychologists, and other proceduralists, providing a clear presentation of the frontiers of this exciting and medically important area.
