NDT 1250 Intermediate Electroencephalography (EEG)

Overview of EEG applications in clinical practice. You will learn to identify and interpret epileptiform discharges, understand the effects of various medications on brainwave patterns, and correlate EEG findings with neurological diseases. It includes an in-depth review of criteria for specialized recording techniques used in prolonged EEG studies and in specialized hospital settings, such as intensive care units and operating rooms. The course also explores EEG signal analysis methods. Two classroom, two lab hours per week.
