Jasjit S. Suri, MS, PhD, MBA is an innovator, visionary, scientist, and an internationally known world leader. Dr. Suri was crowned with Director General's Gold medal in 1980 and the Fellow of American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), awarded by National Academy of Sciences, Washington DC in 2004. Dr. Suri has been the chairman of IEEE Denver section and has won over 50 awards during his career and has held executive positions. Manuel F. Casanova is a Board Certified Neurologist trained in clinical electroencephalography and evoked response potentials. His research focus is Autism Spectrum Disorders. Dr Casanova is an Endowed Chair Professor, and is the Associate Chair for Research in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Louisville. He has over 20 years of experience in the neurosciences. During the last 5 years he has published 43 refereed articles, edited 3 books, wrote 4 letters to the editor and has completed 74 congressional presentations worldwide. He is one of the founders of the Autism Center at the University of Louisville. He was principal investigator on several federal grants, and now his is a PI on an NIH Eureka grant aimed at the application of TMS in autism.

Ayman S. El-Baz is currently assistant professor of Bioengineering in the Department of Bioengineering at the University of Louisville (UofL). He is an expert in the fields of bioimaging modeling and computer assisted diagnosis systems. Dr. El-Baz received his Doctorate from the University of Kentucky, Louisville, KY.

From the reviews:

"This interesting book covers includes not only traditional structural imaging techniques such as MRI and CT, but also neuropathology, quantitative EEG, neurofeedback, and 'behavior imaging.' ... the target audience presumably includes psychiatrists, neurologists, pediatricians, and psychologists, as well as researchers in the field. Written and edited by nationally recognized experts, many of the chapters ... are welcome additions to the literature." -- Michael Joel Schrift, Doody's Book Reviews, November, 2013
