Practical Neurophysics: The Physics and Engineering of Neurology explores and explains the physical foundations of neurology with a principal focus on the technologies that we use for diagnosis and management. The physics of biologic systems is also discussed, in the context of interfacing with our technologies and the mechanisms behind abnormalities. With sections on ultrasound, advanced laboratory tests, and neurotherapeutics, this is a unique book that focuses on the science and engineering rather than on disease processes. This book is intended to give the reader an appreciation of the mechanisms behind our technology and how humans and machines interface. The spectrum of presented information ranges from basic atomic physics to electronics to mechanisms of abnormalities on MRI and EEG. With this book, the reader should have a better understanding of the mechanisms of the technologies we use as well as an understanding of how normal and pathological functioning produces findings we can record.

Karl Misulis is a physician and scientist at Vanderbilt University, specializing in Hospital Neurology and Biomedical Informatics. He has worked in biotechnical development including computer applications and electronics, and worked for a variety of public, private, and governmental organizations. He is the author of more than 20 books. Evan Johnson is a physician and scientist at Vanderbilt University, specializing in Movement disoders. His scientific expertise is in the field of neuro-imaging, with concentration on CT and MRI. His Master's research took place at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, after which he worked for several years in research imaging groups both there and at the University of Texas at Houston Health Science Center before entering medical school.
