Electroencephalography Multimodality and Support toTherapeutics

The methodology adopted will be of the active expository type, using slides, videos and relevant scientific publications in the various areas explored in the course, which will be made available to students. The evaluation will be carried out through discussion and presentation of the Journal Club and development, in group, of a research project.

The student must acquire knowledge of:
Invasive and non-invasive multimodal assessment techniques in neurophysiology.
Advantages of multimodal assessment in different clinical contexts.
The student must acquire skills and competences in:
Identification of the fundamental principles of multimodal techniques in neurophysiology.
Selection of the most appropriate technique for different clinical contexts.
Recognition of the limitations in interpreting the results obtained by each technique.
