EEG Tech II PRN

The Electroencephalographic (EEG) Technologist II will perform routine and extended EEG studies to support neurological diagnosis and research within the inpatient Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) and in the outpatient Sleep Electroencephalographic (EEG) Clinic. This role is responsible for electrode placement patient monitoring and data acquisition to ensure highquality recordings while maintaining patient comfort and safety in collaboration with neurologists neuroscientists and research teams.

1. Perform routine and extended EEG recordings including application of scalp electrode caps electrode digitization and verification of appropriate impedance levels.
2. Monitor recordings in real time to ensure data quality and artifact reduction.
3. Complete activating procedures (i.e. hyperventilation and photic stimulation) including eliminating and/or properly monitoring physiological and non-physiological artifacts; reviewing evaluating mapping and classifying impressions of Ictal Interictal and Paroxysmal events from EEG/video data; annotating event(s) occurring during daily scanning; and editing and archiving EEG/video data documentation and mapping.
4. Provide realtime technical support to physicians during EEG acquisition and interpretation including preparation of preliminary technical reports and detailed documentation of EEG patterns seizure semiology mapping of abnormalities and representative EEG samples.
5. Support EEG data collection for clinical trials and neuroscience research involving patients and clinical staff following IRBapproved protocols and maintaining required study documentation and data transfers.
6. Collaborate with investigators and research teams on study setup protocol adherence and preparation of EEG data for analysis.
7. Maintain clinical databases and archives ensuring appropriate records and file locations are saved.
8. Adhere to Functional Mapping protocols while maintaining quality control standards across all EEG studies.
9. Troubleshoot EEG equipment amplifiers software and acquisition systems.
10. Conduct video-EEG monitoring as required.
11. Serve as the point of contact for the labs Emergency Medicine Physician (EMP) regarding technical aspects.
12. Educate patients and families on EMU monitoring procedures and generate patientspecific technical reports to support care and understanding.
13. Appropriately maintain clean and store all equipment and laboratory inventory.
