Since the time of Berger, psychiatrists have searched for the clinical significance of the electrical activity of the brain. Thus far they have learned little from the EEG to relate to diagnosis, treatment, or course of illness. There is even the likelihood that the standard EEG as a clinical and research tool in psychiatry might be abandoned in favor of more sensitive electrophysiological and other brain imaging techniques. However, this trend could well be premature as evidenced in the present volume.
