Clinical Neurophysiology
We examine the electrical activity of the brain, sensory systems, nerves and muscles, as well as sleep and alertness. We monitor the nervous system and musculature during surgery and intensive care, and perform non-invasive neuromodulation treatments.
Clinical neurophysiology service area
We perform diagnostic outpatient examinations of the peripheral and central nervous system, the sensory system and sleep at the Clinical Neurophysiology Unit in the Tyks Lighthouse Hospital and on an emergency basis at different wards in Tyks.
Organisation and operations of the Centre of Excellence in Neuromodulation Therapies
The Turku University Hospital Centre of Excellence in Neuromodulation Therapies implements, coordinates and develops neuromodulation operations and scientific research in Southwest Finland in several fields of specialised medical care.
Sleep and vigilance tests
Examinations of sleep and vigilance are used to study conditions such as sleep apnoea (abnormal breathing patterns during sleep), abnormal daytime fatigue and disorders of excessive somnolence due to other causes, prolonged insomnia and various types of seizure symptoms during sleep.

Electroencephalogram (EEG)
An EEG is used to study disorders of the brain, especially different types of seizures and disorders of consciousness. The examination measures electrical activity in the brain, eye movements, muscle tension under the chin, breathing movements and heart rate. The examination also includes…
