Postgraduate Diploma in Encephalography and Neurophysiological Sleep Study

Encephalography (EEG) and neurophysiological sleep study are medical tests used to evaluate electrical activity in the brain and a patient's sleep patterns, respectively. Encephalography is a painless test that measures the electrical activity of the brain by recording brain waves on the scalp. It is used to diagnose a variety of neurological disorders, such as epilepsy, encephalopathy, meningitis, head trauma, down syndrome, among others. The neurophysiological sleep study, also known as polysomnography, is a medical technique used to evaluate the different stages of sleep and the patient's state of alertness. This test is performed in a sleep laboratory and records brain activity, muscle activity, breathing and eye movements during sleep. It is used to diagnose sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome and various mood disorders.

Both EEG and neurophysiological sleep study are important tests in neurology and sleep medicine. Both techniques provide valuable information for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases and sleep disorders. Accurate diagnosis of these pathologies helps to ensure proper medical care and improve the quality of life of patients. The objective of this Postgraduate Diploma program in Encephalography and Neurophysiological Study of Sleep, taught online, is to provide students with an in-depth knowledge of the fundamentals and techniques of sleep neurophysiology and its relationship to the human brain. Students will learn to work with technologies such as EEG, polysomnography and actigraphy to analyze brain activity in relation to sleep.
