Electrophysiologic Techniques I

3 units

Introduces basic concepts in administration and interpretation of physiologic and electrophysiologic measures, with focus on early latency auditory evoked potentials (AEP). Content covers basic instrumentation, parameters and variables affecting the otoacoustic emissions (OAE) and AEP measurements of auditory brainstem response (ABR), auditory steady state response (ASSR), and electrocochleography (ECochG). Course includes a strong experiential component with hands-on activities related to the performing these measures, identifying waveforms and interpreting results.
