This week on the BrainWaves podcast, finally...a REAL show about BRAINWAVES! Dr. Carolina Maciel, of the University of Florida, schools Jim Siegler on how to read EEG and interpret abnormal patterns across the ictal-interictal continuum.

Produced by James E. Siegler and Carolina Maciel. Music courtesy of Chris Zabriskie, Montplaisir, Rafael Archangel, Steve Combs, Unheard Music Concepts, and Siddhartha. Sound effects by Mike Koenig and Daniel Simion. BrainWaves' podcasts and online content are intended for medical education only and should not be used for clinical decision making.
