Competency information
Details
Critically evaluate the effects and merits of altering the recording conditions, electrode types and positions, acquisition parameters, and stimulation parameters
Considerations
- The effect of type of electrodes (actives, references and ‘ground’); absolute and relative impedances; polarisation/bias; amplification; bandpass; sampling rate; time period; artefact rejection; signal processing
- The effect of stimulus type; pattern; presentation mode; adaptation state
- How to adjust stimulus and acquisition parameters according to the test being performed
- Stimulus modalities and characteristics appropriate to the purpose of the investigation and adjusted to avoid unnecessary patient discomfort or harm
