Monitoring neural function during surgery: handbook of clinical neurophysiology

The Handbook of Clinical Neurophysiology is a book series which aims to provide the ultimate reference source for clinical neurophysiologists, covering every aspect of clinical neurophysiology. It is published in association with theInternational Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, and the series editors are Professor Jasper Daube of the Mayo clinic in the USA and Professor Francois Mauguire of Claude Bernard University, Lyon, France.
