OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	The aim of this course is to enable students to become familiar with EEG equipment, learn its operating principles and safe use, acquire the skills necessary to obtain high-quality EEG recordings, and gain competence in electrode application as well as hygiene, maintenance, and sterilization procedures.
Contents of the Course Unit:	Within the scope of this course, the introduction of EEG devices, their operating principles and safety regulations, techniques for acquiring reliable EEG recordings, types of electrodes and their methods of application, and practices related to hygiene, maintenance, and sterilization 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 history of EEG, its physiological basis, and the mechanisms underlying the generation of electrocortical activity.
Distinguishes between different types of EEG electrodes, placement systems, and recording techniques, and selects the appropriate method.
Explains and illustrates the basic characteristics of amplifiers and filter types and their effects on EEG signals.
Interprets the importance of electrical safety, grounding, and technical device specifications in EEG recordings.
Identifies, classifies, and differentiates physiological and technical artifacts that may occur during EEG recordings.
Evaluates and analyzes EEG recordings according to terminology, polarity, and montage principles.
Applies and manages infection control measures and electrode–device maintenance procedures in EEG studies.
Plans and implements appropriate first aid approaches in the event of seizures occurring in the electroneurophysiology laboratory.
