Neurophysiology Practicals

Synopsis

A series of fully evaluated problem-oriented CAL materials to support laboratory practicals on human subjects.
1: Four modules (Electroencephalogram (EEG); Auditory evoked potentials (AEP); Visual evoked potentials (VEP); Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP)) introduce these non-invasive techniques for measuring neuronal activity from the brain, with the students themselves as subjects. Shows the limitations of the methods and the techniques used to compensate. Also shows how to relate the recordings to brain function.
2: Enables students to acquire a theoretical and practical knowledge and understanding of spinal cord function by eliciting and measuring spinal reflexes on themselves. Demonstrates the techniques of mechanically and electrically stimulating reflexes and recording the responses.
3: Shows how to measure conduction velocity in motor fibres of peripheral nerves, how to measure delay at the neuromuscular junction, and how to relate this to neuromuscular function.
