Recent advances in electroencephalography (EEG) research are presented. Particular emphasis is placed on sleep and epilepsy research in humans. In this context, among others, studies on the modifications of EEG epileptic activity during sleep are discussed in more detail. A large number of reports come from EEG monitoring during presurgical evaluation and surgical treatment of drug-resistant ep...
