Clinical Neurophysiology

Clinical Neurophysiology (Electrodiagnostic Medicine) at Yale is a subspecialty within Neurology, where a variety of techniques are used to diagnose specific types of neurological disorders. The staff of clinicians and researchers are trained in neurophysiological techniques using the latest and most advanced equipment.

Digital EEG is the technique of measuring the brain's electrical activity through a number of electrodes that are placed in standard locations on the scalp. Advanced computer analysis and processing of the EEG data is used.

Electromyography is the technique of using electrodes to directly investigate the electrical activity of muscle. Nerve conduction studies use small pulses of electricity to measure the conducting properties of the nerves. Together they are used to investigate and diagnose the entire spectrum of neuromuscular diseases.
