neurophysiologists
Brain function scientists
Neurophysiologists are scientists who study the nervous system's functions—how neurons communicate, how the brain processes information, how nerves control movement and sensation.
The field bridges biology and medicine: Neurophysiologists monitored brain activity during the seizure.
Clinical neurophysiologists work directly with patients, using tests like EEGs to diagnose neurological disorders.
