Abstract
Neurophysiological examination is one of the duties of a medical technologist, but few examinations are being carried out compared with other types of physiological examination because the techniques are complicated and the analysis is difficult. Studies of the brain and nervous system began in the 18th century and developed with the evolution of electrical technology and medical instruments. It is essential that we master the basic principles of neurophysiological examination and their relationship with neurological disorders. However, further development of procedures and instruments is expected to continue. Therefore, medical technologists engaged in this type of work must improve their knowledge and technological skills. In addition, imaging diagnosis and other results of examinations are also important, and it is necessary to adapt to the different diagnostic technologies in general. In this article, I will comment on the measures that are taken during the course of the evolution of neurophysiological examination techniques and further changes in this field.
