Fifty Years of Magnetoencephalography

Andrew C. Papanicolaou is Professor of Clinical Neuroscience Emeritus of the University of Tennessee, College of Medicine, where he served as founder and Chief of the Division of Clinical Neuroscience; visiting Professor of Neurology at the National University of Athens, Greece; President of the advisory board of the Center of Applied Neuroscience of the University of Cyprus and honorary member of the Hellenic Clinical Neurophysiology and Neuropsychology Societies. Timothy P.L. Roberts is a Professor of Radiology at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania. He received his BA from Cambridge University in 1988 and his PhD, also from Cambridge University, in 1992. He has developed a career in multimodal neuroimaging, especially using MEG, MRI, and MRS and been on the faculty at UCSF and the University of Toronto before his arrival at CHOP/University of Pennsylvania in 2005. James W. Wheless is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatrics, and the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology with special qualifications in Child Neurology, Clinical Neurophysiology, and Epilepsy. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Neurology, and the American Epilepsy Society. Dr. Wheless is a member of the Editorial Board for the Journal of Child Neurology, Formulary, and Epilepsy.com and serves as reviewer of a number of journals including: Neurology, Epilepsia, Pediatrics, and Epilepsy and Behavior.
