Dr. Hirsch completed medical school and internship at Yale
University. He was resident and chief resident at the Neurological
Institute of New York where he also completed a two-year fellowship
in Epilepsy/EEG. He is currently Associate Clinical Professor of
Neurology at Columbia University and Director of the Continuous EEG
Monitoring Program at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia
University Medical Center. His primary interest is providing
clinical care for adolescents and adults with epilepsy, including
those who are potential candidates for epilepsy surgery and in
diagnosing "funny spells". His research interests include
effectiveness and tolerability of antiepileptic drugs, brain
monitoring in the critically ill, brain stimulation for epilepsy,
and cardiac effects of seizures.

Dr. Brenner has been on the faculty at the University of
Pittsburgh since 1983, and is now clinical professor of neurology
and psychiatry. He has authored over 70 publications and was the
medical editor of the American Journal of Electroneurodiagnostic
Technology (2003-2006). He is a member of the American Academy of
Neurology (AAN), American Clinical Neurophysiology Society (ACNS),
and the American Epilepsy Society (AES). He was director of the
clinical EEG course for the AAN from 1991 through 1995 and
co-director of the annual AES course in 2001. He was director of
clinical EEG courses for the ACNS from 2001-2003. He was president
of the ACNS (2005-2006) and recently completed EEG on DVD-Adult: An
Interactive Reading Session.
