Methodology for electrophysiological analysis of sleep-wake states PhD course

Semmelweis University, Mental Health Sciences Doctoral School, 4/2 Doctoral Program

Time: Tuesdays between 1.00 p.m.-2.30 p.m.

Place: Semmelweis University, Institute of Behavioural Sciences

PhD course leader: Dr. Róbert Bódizs

The aim of the course is twofold: on the one hand, to introduce the basic electrophysiological phenomena and their functional significance in human sleep-wake states, and on the other hand, to introduce students to electrophysiological methods, techniques and analytical procedures from a practical point of view, and to introduce them to everyday research practice.
