摘要

The responsibilities of neurophysiopathology technicians (NTs) encompass a range of specialized tasks, including the recording of conventional electroencephalography (EEG) with synchronized video electroencephalography (VEEG), polysomnography, and dynamic EEG monitoring. Each of these techniques requires advanced skills, from setting up complex equipment to analyzing complex data. Emerging technologies such as high-resolution EEG (HREEG), EEG-fMRI, and amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) further illustrate the NT’s pivotal role in diagnosis and research. The central role of NTs was particularly evident during the COVID-19 pandemic, as they quickly adopted new protocols and telemedicine technologies to continue providing critical services. As the field evolves with technological advancements and a growing need for interdisciplinary collaboration, the NT’s contributions to neurophysiology and patient care remain essential. This ongoing evolution highlights the importance of continuous professional development and effective integration with other healthcare disciplines.
