This program prepares graduates to perform the following neurodiagnostic procedures:

• Electroencephalography (EEG) - recording electrical activity of the brain
• Electromyography (EMG) - recording electrical activity of nerves and muscles
• Evoked Potentials (EP) - measuring nervous system response to sensory stimuli
• Polysomnography (PSG) - monitoring physiological activity during sleep
• Autonomic Testing - measuring involuntary nervous system function

These tests involve applying electrodes to the patient, gathering and analyzing data online making certain that it is viable and interpretable. Neurodiagnostic studies can be performed in a clinical laboratory, a hospital, operating room, intensive care unit or at a patient's bedside.
