Course objectives
At the end of the course, students should be able to apply practically some methods used for examination of the functions of human nervous system. Students will be capable of interpreting the acquired records with respect to physiological processes taking place in human body. Furthermore, the students will derive and calculate other parameters and indices routinely used in clinical practice. Students will be able to evaluate the results obtained both by measurement and by calculation, and to explain possible deviations.
