I watched this one and it's a good overview on these disorders. The other ones are worth looking into also.

It really makes sense to use actual brain recordings to assist in the diagnostic process.

Dana said...

*sigh* Neurological disorders are so lacking in physical diagnosis ... and as such are often considered "made up" disorders, especially within the education system.

Amanda said...

That was a good video. I'm always amazed at how clever some scientists in this world are.

Mike said...

Amanda - TED seems to find a lot of them.

Mike said...

Angel - I think it was a good series.

Elvis - Watch it. Your using logic. That could get you in big trouble.

Dana - It's obvious there's nothing wrong with these people and they just need to try harder.
