Dieses Buch gibt eine einfache Einfuhrung in die Anfertigung und Befundung von akustisch evozierten Potentialen (AEP), wie sie routinemassig in der Neurologie zu diagnostischen Zwecken eingesetzt werden. Die Anleitung zu dieser Methode ist didaktisch einfach gehalten und doch umfassend. Sie gibt dem Leser die notwendigen technischen und elektrophysiologischen Grundkenntnisse mit auf den Weg. Ein umstandliches Suchen in umfangreichen, zumeist wissenschaftlich gehaltenen Fachbuchern nach den Wegen des praktischen Vorgehens entfallt. Aufbauend auf ein einfaches medizinisches Grundwissen werden...

This volume contains the proceedings of the Ninth European Conference on Eye Movements (ECEM 9), held in Ulm, Germany, on September 23-26, 1997. ECEM 9 con tinued a series of conferences initiated by Rudolf Groner of Bern, Switzerland, in 1981 which, from its very beginning, has brought together scientists from very diverse fields with a common interest in eye movements. About 40 of the papers presented at ECEM 9 have been selected for presentation in full length while others are rendered in condensed form. There is a broad spectrum of motives why people have become involved in, and fas...
