Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:	The purpose of this course is to prepare students to be familiar with the theoretical basis of the electroneurophysiology on one hand and teach them to use neurophysiological methods needed for analysis of cognitive and behavioral functions in brain and determination of the diseases constituted by distruption of these functions via supervision of specialist doctors.
Course Content:	• To recognize and identify the electroneurophysiological methods of diagnosis used in today’s medical world • To participate and perform diagnostical tests under the auspices of qualified personel. • To learn to prepare patients for EMG test • To learn to prepare patients for EEG test • To participate the work done in electrophysiological units of the hospitals
