As neurodiagnostic technologists, encountering a patient having a seizure in the lab can vary greatly depending on the setting. Technologists working in an Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) may witness seizures on a daily basis. In contrast, those in outpatient EEG labs may encounter this situation far less frequently. Regardless of frequency, knowing proper seizure first aid is essential to ensuring patient safety and maintaining confidence in critical moments. The goal of this

Attending professional conferences is one of the most valuable ways to grow as a neurodiagnostic technologist. Whether your focus is EEG, long-term monitoring, or sleep studies, conferences provide a unique opportunity to expand your skills, connect with peers, and stay current in a rapidly evolving field. With access to continuing education (CEUs), networking opportunities, and exposure to the latest technologies, conference attendance is not just a trip—it is an investme

It’s Neurodiagnostic Week! Seriously though…I think we need a whole month : ) For many of us in this field it feels like the Best Kept Secret in Healthcare! A career where you can work in a clinic, a hospital, an operating room or even from home. How is it that such a versatile and dynamic field can have such a large national shortage of qualified staff? For those working in the field we know how interesting and rewarding it is: That wow feeling when you turn on the machine

If this is the year you plan to sit for a board certification exam—or if earning a second registry is your goal—the most important thing to remember is this: pace yourself.

Whether your patient is scheduled for a Routine EEG or a Long-Term Video EEG — Test prep prior to the procedure can drastically improve the outcome of the recording. The data obtained is only as good as the quality of the lead placement.

Remote EEG monitoring has become a critical component of modern neurodiagnostics, allowing for continuous patient observation without constant bedside presence. While technology enables this model, success in remote monitoring depends on the technologist, not the software alone. Excelling in this role requires more than technical knowledge. Vigilance, communication, time management, and a disciplined workflow are essential to protecting patient safety and delivering meaningf

Neurodiagnostic training prepares healthcare professionals to evaluate the electrical activity of the brain and nervous system. These specialists play a critical role in diagnosing and monitoring a wide range of neurological conditions. As neurological care continues to grow in scope and complexity, high-quality training programs are essential to support diagnostic accuracy, patient safety, and clinical excellence.

Functional Neurologic Disorder (FND) is a neurological condition caused by changes in how brain networks function, rather than by structural damage or disease within the brain itself. Although imaging and diagnostic tests are often normal, the symptoms experienced by individuals with FND are very real and can significantly interfere with daily life.

How did I get here… Well, probably like anyone else, this really didn’t feel like a straight path getting here. It probably never does! It was probably due to me just not knowing what I wanted to be when I “grew up”, but like others around my age, I really just fell into neuro-diagnostics. At 22, I was at the end of my collegiate life and realizing I needed to find a “real” job/career and really just needing something lined up when I graduated. I remember applying to almost

"Being a traveling neurodiagnostic technician has been one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences of my life. Every day, I get to merge my passion for neurology with my love of new experiences, helping patients while traveling to their homes or nursing facilities."

Look to your mentors - If you don’t have one…you need one.

Tuberous sclerosis is a rare genetic disease that causes non-cancerous tumors or lesions that grow in the brain and other areas of the body; including the eyes, lung, heart, kidneys, and skin. Due to the lesions being located in the brain these patients can often be seen in our EEG labs receiving testing.

Pediatric patients, as one would expect, take more time and definitely more patience; however, the importance of a quality recording remains the same and keeping that as our goal will help.
