承载尧德中教授及其合作伙伴们30年心血的英文专著The Physics and Mathematics of Electroencephalogram(脑电的物理及其数学基础)终于面世了（2024.6, CRC）。该书早期中文版本《脑功能探测的电学理论与方法》出版于2003年，此次进一步从系统性、基础性和前沿性方面进行了增修，在这里，宏观脑电的主要基础问题都有了答案，代表性的分析技术尤其空间分析技术都有了阐述。可以认为，看透了它，追问的脑电问题会更恰当，向前的脚步会更稳健。当然，我们也意识到，该书虽经历了多次仔细的校验，仍有若干的不足甚至错误，期待您的火眼金睛去发现，以共同促进领域的发展。

该书采用了传统出版方式：作者不交出版费，出版社独家销售，由此导致作者没有免费的纸版或电子版奉献给大家，而是留待确有需要者自行向出版社购买：

2. 国际权威专家怎么说？
