Advancing the Field

A new set of guidelines and technical recommendations acknowledges the special role techs play in caring for the most fragile patients.

For the first time, researchers compare IONM with the gold-standard Stagnara wake-up test during idiopathic scoliosis correction and the results have drawn praise — with a catch.

A team at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine is using wireless sleep electroencephalography (EEG) on patients undergoing medical withdrawal from opioids and have published the results of a small pilot study.

Dr. Vivian Porter, now in her 90s, talks about her start in neurodiagnostics and the path that led her to become the first EEG tech to earn a PhD.

Researchers at UT Texas Southwest document the value of video EEG in diagnosing and managing seizures.

New research explores how neurodiagnostics can benefit the hospitality industry.

“Techs with bachelor's degrees, master's degrees—they're taken a little more seriously than somebody who was on-the-job trained and worked their way up,” says EEG tech and college professor Dr. Anna-Marie Beck.

Ambu, Inc. is joining ASET to celebrate Neurodiagnostic Week, April 18-24. This week we will highlight the incredible work done by techs during a year marked by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The secret to successfully navigating the COVID-19 pandemic? A good foundation of communication made even better in the face of adversity.

It isn’t enough just to be on the job trained in neurodiagnostics anymore. Jennifer Legler explains why she has dedicated herself to educating NDTs.

“COVID changed a lot of things, and there were tough decisions that were made this year,” said Connie Kubiak, President of ASET-The Neurodiagnostic Society. Kubiak will end her term as ASET president this summer.

Can psychopathy be 'seen' on EEG? Using neurofeedback, can some of the negative qualities associated with psychopathy be changed? A new study contributes to science’s aim to find 'biological signatures' of mental illness.

A recently published case study shows the importance of early intervention in a rare form of acquired epileptiform aphasia that usually develops in early childhood.

This opens the door to studying groups as they listen to music together – something not previously possible as this type of brain activity used to only be measured by MRI or PET scans.

“Of all the labs I've worked in. I've never worked in one where there has been a formal policy written about when to do the EEG in regards to dialysis,” says Petra Davidson, an EEG tech and researcher. She tells us why and what techs should do in the meantime.
