EEG Course Training

EEG, or electroencephalography, is a special test that health care professionals use to spot problems with the electrical activity in the brain. This information is helpful in studying brain activity and the nervous system. To become a certified EEG technician, you'd need to take special classes at a local institution.

Anatomy & Physiology

• This class about the human anatomy is just one of the many courses necessary to take before enrolling in actual EEG technician courses. You will learn about all the body's systems, including the respiratory, nervous, muscular and skeletal systems. You will also study the body's major organs and tissues relative to performing the EEG tests.

Fundamentals

• The Fundamentals of Electroencephalography course covers "the principals of neurophysiology, the theory and practice of electroencephalography and the theory and use of EEG technology," according to the Education Portal website. You will study the importance of medical ethics and standards in which professionals live by, such as patient care and first aid.

Instruments and Electronics

• This course will introduce you to all the many types of EEG monitors and equipment you'd be dealing with in the field. This includes things like where you place the electrodes to conduct a test. You'd also learn about protocols dealing with instrument usage with infants, adults and geriatric patients.
