Auditory Electrophysiology II

Lectures with audiovisual resources; practical classes in the audiology laboratory, where students are divided into groups to apply the different knowledge of AEPs; group works; availability and analysis of scientific articles; analysis and marking of waves; analysis and discussion of clinical cases; clarification of doubts. Up to 25% of lectures can be taught at a distance.
Continuous evaluation:
The final grade of the curricular unit is the weighted average of the TP evaluation and the practical evaluation and at least it must be 9.5 values;
The TP evaluation has a weight of 70% in the final grade and the minimum grade is 9.5 values;
The practical evaluation has a weight of 30% in the final grade and the minimum grade is 9.5 values;
The grade of the TP assessment is the weighted average of a written evaluation/frequency (70% in the final grade of the TP assessment and minimum score is 9.5 values) and a written work (30% in the final grade of the TP evaluation).

The learning objective of the curricular unit is to provide students with the ability to:
− know the purpose and clinical applications of Auditory Middle Latency Response, Auditory Long Latency Response, P300, Mismatch Negativity, N400, Auditory Electric Evoked Potentials and Electroneuronography;
− know the procedures and to know the stimulation and acquisition protocols and parameters appropriate to the purpose of the Evoked Potentials (EP) exam;
− know how different variables influence EP;
− determine electrophysiological auditory thresholds;
− know how to mark waves components, analyze and relate the results of the Auditory Evoked Potentials with the clinical case, depending on whether the assessment is audiological, neurological and about neuroplasticity.
− know research guidelines in auditory electrophysiology.
