Videos of 2009 NeuroGuide Online Workshops
Videos of Real-time computer screen views of NeuroGuide and audio so that participants share the instructor’s desktop on their desktops. One can follow the instructor’s key strokes and analyses by opening exemplar EEG files inside of NeuroGuide. Pause, stop and move forward and backward and replay sections are your leisure. Please download the NeuroGuide Demo before viewing the workshop videos.
Each workshop includes analyses of real clinical cases as exemplars of EEG and linkages to functional localization in the brain. Local synchrony of neurons and short and long distant connectivity will be evaluated and where possible the patient’s symptoms and complaints will be linked to de-regulation in focal as well as diffuse or generalized brain dysfunctions. The central theme of all the workshops is hands on education of how NeuroGuide can be used as a collection of conventional EEG tools married to a collection of NeuroImaging tools where one can visually verify events in the EEG and attempt to link those events to the patient’s symptoms and complaints.
