What is neurophysiology?

Have you lost sensitivity in the limbs? Do you suffer from a sleep disorder? Do you suffer from shivers? By using advanced analysis equipment and techniques, the neurophysiologist will record, process and analyse the bioelectrical activity of the central and peripheral nervous system, assessing the physiological and pathological functions of the nervous system as a whole.

The vast majority of medical specialities require neurophysiological examinations to reach a diagnosis; therefore, neurophysiologists take on the role of a central service provider. They are responsible for analysing the activity of your brain, spinal cord, nerves, sensory organs and vegetative nervous system, which includes the sympathetic and parasympathetic system.
