The EEG and Clinical Neuroscience Society (ECNS) is an international scientific and educational organization dedicated to disseminating knowledge regarding the latest scientific advances in all fields of
electrophysiology
Electrophysiology (from Greek , ''ēlektron'', "amber" etymology of "electron"">Electron#Etymology">etymology of "electron" , ''physis'', "nature, origin"; and , '' -logia'') is the branch of physiology that studies the electrical properties of b ...

, ''Clinical EEG and Neuroscience''. ''Clinical EEG and Neuroscience'' conveys clinically relevant research and development in electroencephalography and neuroscience. The primary goal of ECNS is to further the clinical practice of classic
electroencephalography
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a method to record an electrogram of the spontaneous electrical activity of the brain. The biosignals detected by EEG have been shown to represent the postsynaptic potentials of pyramidal neurons in the neocortex ...

History
ECNS was formed as a result of merger between American Medical EEG Association (AMEEGA) and the American Psychiatric Electrophysiology Association (APEA).
Annual meeting
ECNS has one major annual meeting which facilitates presentations of new scientific and clinical information, review symposia, and a review and discussion of medical economics as it pertains to ECNS members.
