neurophysiologist
Nervous system researcher
A neurophysiologist is a scientist who studies the nervous system's electrical and chemical activity—how neurons fire, how signals travel through nerves, and how the brain processes information.
The field bridges neurology and physiology: The neurophysiologist monitored brain wave patterns during the seizure.
Clinical neurophysiologists work in hospitals interpreting EEGs and nerve conduction tests.
