From the reviews: "This is a brilliant text on transcranial EEG, fMRI, and NMS of sensorimotor neurophysiology. ... I highly recommend this book to all audiences in Neuroscience and Neurophysiology. It will appeal to graduate students, postdocs, medical students, and seasoned researchers in university settings. ... A great book for all students." (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, June, 2014) "This fascinating book provides an important perspective on brain function and is a welcome addition to the neuroscientific literature. ... the book would appeal to research neuroscientists and graduate students in the neurosciences. ... This is a captivating book on brain connectivity written for research neuroscientists. Anyone who wants to keep abreast of this emerging field must read this book. I highly recommend it!"
