This book defines existing computerized testing methods being applied to the assessment of neuropsychological functions in patients with epilepsy, with particular emphasis placed on the role of computerized testing in monitoring cognitive effects of antiepileptic agents in patients of varying ages. This volume will be of interest to all clinicians & researchers involved in the measurement of neuropsychological function in epilepsy &, more generally, wherever disease or drugs have the potential to affect mental functioning. -- Contents: 1.
