Measuring the patient's head using the international 10-20 system to accurately place and secure recording electrodes using specialized pastes or gels.
- Safety Monitoring: Monitoring patients closely during procedures, especially during activated procedures like hyperventilation, photic stimulation, or sleep deprivation, and reacting quickly if a patient experiences a seizure.

Clinical
Testing &
- Technical Operations
- EEG (Electroencephalogram): Recording electrical brain activity to help diagnose epilepsy, sleep disorders, and brain injuries.
- NCS (Nerve Conduction Studies): Administering mild electrical impulses to evaluate nerve damage or neuromuscular diseases (often alongside a Neurologist performing an EMG).
- EP (Evoked Potentials): Measuring the brain's response to sensory stimuli (visual, auditory, or somatosensory).
- Artifact Elimination: Recognizing and correcting technical artifacts (e.g., muscle tension, sweating, or loose electrodes) to ensure clean, accurate data tracking.
3. Data Interpretation &
- Maintenance
- Data Documentation: Writing detailed technical summaries, noting any patient movements, clinical symptoms, or seizures that occurred during the recording.
- Preliminary Review: Highlighting abnormal waveforms or critical findings for the reviewing Neurologist.
- Equipment Care: Cleaning, calibrating, and troubleshooting neurodiagnostic machinery, ensuring all sterilization protocols are strictly followed.
