The Electrical Fields of Consciousness: Brain Waves and Dreaming examines neuro-electrophysiology from its origins in the electrical fields of primitive organisms to its roles in the electrophysiologically defined states of human consciousness. This volume presents and cogently organizes the wide spectrum of information available as to how and why bioelectrical fields are used to define and function in supporting both life and consciousness. Integrating electrophysiology in a comprehensible manner into neuroanatomical, electromagnetic, and global platform theories of neuroconsciousness, this book brings together the wide spectrum of available data-based evidence regarding the physiology and functions of bioelectric fields and their relationship to consciousness.

Chapters examine the origin and potential function of bioelectrical fields and EEG associations with conscious states, as well as the relationship between electrical fields and consciousness. Incorporating the basic science, clinical correlates, and functional potential of CNS bioelectrical fields, this book is a must-read for all working in the field of CNS electrophysiology or neuroconsciousness.

Dr. Pagel is an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, and has been involved in the study of brain electrical fields for more than 45 years. Among the first to propose that physiological electrical fields had functional roles in cognitive processing, he is the primary author of more than 150 scientific publications including four authored and four edited books, including: Primary Care Sleep Disorders: A Practical Guide, Humana Press (2007); The Limits of Dream – A Scientific Exploration of the Mind / Brain Interface, Academic Press (2008); and Dreams and Nightmares, Sleep Medicine Review (2010). He authored and edited the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) training programs on sleep apnea, infant, child adolescent (overall pediatric editor), and women's sleep disorders, and is past chair of the AASM education committee. In 2005, with Tori Nielsen, he developed the first diagnostic code for Nightmare Disorder (ICD 10) (19), and was overall chair of the 2012 National Sleep Foundation, Sleep Health and Safety Meeting.
