description

This Presentation discusses the variously commonly seen artifacts in EEG, and how to recognize them. In EEG interpretation, it is often more important to identify an artifact than to identify true pathology. Once all the artifacts are ruled out, one is sure that what one is dealing with represents disease/abnormality
