Originally published in 1984, the aim of this book was to interest
clinical neuroscientists in the application of neurometrics to the
evaluation of brain dysfunction in neurological patients. This
methodology was hoped to produce substantial improvement in the
neurological medical care of the general population at the time. In
the previous 15 years, as a result of the development of
minicomputers and their application to the quantitative analysis of
electrophysiological phenomena, there had been a great expansion of
knowledge about the electrical activity of the brain. This activity
yielded a great variety of information about brain functions.
Neurometrics is a methodology, based on quantitative measurements
of the brain electrical activity, for evaluating anatomical
integrity, developmental maturation, and the mediation of sensory,
perceptual, and cognitive processes. This book focuses on practical
clinical applications and the theoretical and experimental
formulations on which these are based.

The late E. Roy John is considered the pioneer in the field of
neurometrics - the science of measuring the underlying organization
of the brain's electrical activity. Volume 1, co-authored by Robert
W. Thatcher, and Volume 2 both originally published in 1977, were
among the first books this field. Volume 3, written by colleague
Thalia Harmony, followed in 1984. The field expanded significantly
in the 1990s and thousands of articles have subsequently been
published. Available together for the first time these 3 volumes
were important foundational works for the fields of quantitative
electrophysiology and neurometrics.
