Introduction to Quantitative EEG and Neurofeedback

by James R. Evans (Editor)

Neurofeedback techniques are used as treatment for a variety of psychological disorders including attention deficit disorder, dissociative identity disorder, depression, drug and alcohol abuse, and brain injury. Resources for understanding what the technique is, how it is used, and to what disorders and patients it can be applied are scarce. An ideal tool for practicing clinicians and clinical psychologists in independent practice and hospital settings, this book provides an introduction to neurofeedback/neurotherapy techniques.

I want to read this to get a better understanding of all the doings with electroencephalography. I intend to build one, but I want to know:
How might an EEG be useful to me outside of neurofeedback training for ADHD?
How do I interpret/process the EEG brainwaves into something meaningful?
How can I distinguish between a good EEG machine and a bad EEG machine?
What are the main components of an EEG machine, and what do they all do?
Will I really need a faraday cage?
