OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	The aim of this course is to ensure an understanding of the anatomical and physiological mechanisms underlying electrophysiological tests, including the F-wave, H-reflex, repetitive nerve stimulation tests, the blink reflex, and tests related to the autonomic nervous system.
Contents of the Course Unit:	This course covers the technical and diagnostic processes of electroencephalography (EEG) in clinical applications, starting from its fundamental concepts. Within the scope of the education, operational processes such as laboratory standards, patient preparation, and electrode placement protocols are examined alongside routine and bedside EEG recording methods. The curriculum focuses on specialized areas including the definition and application criteria of sleep EEG, specific EEG patterns, and background activity disorders. Furthermore, it aims to provide a clinical perspective by combining the EEG evaluation of neurological conditions such as epilepsy, dementia, and metabolic diseases with activation methods and video monitoring techniques.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)
Defines and explains the basic concepts of EEG and its physiological foundations.
Explains the structure of the EEG laboratory, the technical specifications of EEG equipment, and principles of safe use.
Applies principles of patient preparation and electrode placement to obtain accurate EEG recordings.
Distinguishes the purposes, methods, and clinical applications of routine EEG and sleep EEG recordings.
Identifies and analyzes technical and clinical problems encountered during bedside EEG recordings.
Defines, classifies, and interprets specific EEG patterns and background activity abnormalities.
Comparatively evaluates EEG findings in epilepsy, dementia, and metabolic disorders.
Interprets and evaluates data obtained from activation procedures and video EEG monitoring within a clinical context.
