• Measure patients' body parts and mark locations where electrodes are to be placed.
• Attach electrodes to patients using adhesives.
• Monitor patients during tests or surgeries, using electroencephalographs (EEG), evoked potential (EP) instruments, or video recording equipment.
• Conduct tests or studies such as electroencephalography (EEG), polysomnography (PSG), nerve conduction studies (NCS), electromyography (EMG), and intraoperative monitoring (IOM).
• Indicate artifacts or interferences derived from sources outside of the brain, such as poor electrode contact or patient movement, on electroneurodiagnostic recordings.
• Explain testing procedures to patients, answering questions or reassuring patients as needed.
• Adjust equipment to optimize viewing of the nervous system.
• Set up, program, or record montages or electrical combinations when testing peripheral nerve, spinal cord, subcortical, or cortical responses.
• Measure visual, auditory, or somatosensory evoked potentials (EPs) to determine responses to stimuli.
• Conduct tests to determine cerebral death, the absence of brain activity, or the probability of recovery from a coma.
