Neurophysiologist, Neurology and Epilepsy Expert Consultant Resume

This expert specializes in neurology, epilepsy, neurophysiology, neuroscience, and electroencephalography.

This consultant has extensive experience in adult neurology and seizure consultations, and intraoperative neurophysiology.

The background of this consultant reflects extensive knowledge and interest in water sports, including six years of competitive swimming and lifeguard instruction, as well as a thesis on mammalian development of swimming and righting reflexes in a weightless environment.

This consultant is fully trained and certified in transcranial magnetic stimulation through the Harvard Laboratory for Magnetic Brain Stimulation. This consultant also specializes in electroencephalography, routine EEG, video/EEG long-term monitoring, intracranial EEG using subdural and depth electrodes.

Other areas of special procedures training include intraoperative neurophysiology monitoring, electrocorticography, somatosensory evoked potentials, and motor evoked potentials. Further areas of training are brainstem auditory evoked potentials, free run electromyography, cranial nerve monitoring, pedicle screw stimulation, epidural D-wave recording, and visual evoked potentials.

Special capabilities also include chemodenervation and neurolysis, magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography, and hypnosis for diagnosis and treatment of psychological disease presenting with pseudo-neurological symptoms.
