Message from the IFCN President
President’s Letter. September 2023.
It is with sadness that I announce the recent death of Vedran Deletis. He completed his doctoral thesis in Clinical Neurophysiology and was Director of the Intraoperative Neurophysiology Department in St. Luke’s/Roosevelt Hospital and an Associate Professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. He dedicated his career to Intraoperative Neurophysiology (ION). Dr Deletis established a hugely successful fellowship program for ION in New York; its fellows went on to spread their knowledge and experience throughout the world. He published numerous papers in ION, especially on ION of the motor system and was editor of one of the leading books in the field of Intraoperative Neurophysiology in Neurosurgery and a founder of the International Society for Intraoperative Neurophysiology (ISIN) and served as its first president. He was a giant of ION whose life’s work and legacy will surely endure beyond his passing.

Clinical Neurophysiology Practice (CNP) is a new Open Access journal that focuses on clinical practice issues in clinical neurophysiology including relevant new research, case reports or clinical series, normal values and didactic reviews. It complements Clinical Neurophysiology which focuses on innovative research in the specialty. It has a role in supporting established clinical practice, and an educational role for trainees, technicians and practitioners.
