The Association organises short courses and one-day seminars, which may lead to further qualification. Frequent scientific meetings are held throughout the country. The Association publishes a monthly newsletter distributed to members only, and a scientific journal three times a year. This is a fast growing area of development, where increasingly, high technology and computerisation is employed, but where technologists still work very closely with patients and the medical profession. Neurophysiology is usually based in hospitals and linked to neurological centres.
Departments vary in the number and type of investigations carried out.
In house practical trainingand assessment will be necessary to become a qualified Basic Practitioner, this will lead to professional society examinations. Here, a technologist is reviewing a long-term EEG recording to search for seizure activity. If a seizure is located, the patient can be viewed on the screen on the right whilst studying the brain's electrical activity on the monitor on the left. In this way, it is possible to determine the nature of the seizure. This technologist is recording an EEG using a modern digital recorder.
