Learning Outcomes – Introduction to Neurophysiology

From your research you should be able to reach the following learning outcomes.

Learning outcome 1. The Neurophysiology Department

Discuss the range and purpose of current neurophysiology procedures
1.1 Describe a typical range of recording tests performed in a Neurophysiology Department
1.2 List the tests performed within a typical Neurophysiology Department.
1.3 Describe the purpose of each test (including Electroencephalography (EEG) (portable, standard, ambulatory, video) Evoked potential (EP), Electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction studies)

Learning outcome 2. Neurophysiology Equipment
