OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	The aim of this course is to provide students with the knowledge and skills related to EEG recording procedures and the recognition of epileptic activity, as well as the use of EEG and video-EEG systems, which serve as supportive methods in neurological disorders and conditions affecting the brain.
Contents of the Course Unit:	Within the scope of this course, EEG recording procedures, the evaluation of epileptic activity, and the introduction, principles of use, and technical specifications of EEG and video-EEG equipment are covered.

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 electroneurophysiology and the physiological foundations of EEG generators.
Explains the mechanisms underlying the generation of rhythmic EEG activities and their clinical significance.
Applies principles of EEG equipment use, electrode types, and electrode placement to obtain accurate recordings.
Relates principles of polarity and field localization in EEG to clinical EEG recordings.
Defines and differentiates normal EEG characteristics in accordance with clinical EEG recording and technical standards.
Interprets EEG activation methods and the basic features of neonatal EEG.
Analyzes abnormal EEG patterns by relating them to neurological disorders and seizure types.
Evaluates and interprets ictal–interictal EEG analyses and video EEG monitoring data within a clinical context.
