The section of neurophysiology, established in 1979, sees itself as an integrative factor of the Department of Psychiatry.

The following equipment is available:

• Two electroencephalographs (now changeover to paperless EEG) with the possibility of storing and processing data.
• An EMG-EP-unit including data acquisition.
• A Doppler ultrasound unit.
• An electrocardiograph.

The performance of an electro convulsive therapy accompanied by scientific examinations (EEG, CCT, MRI, psychophysiology) also belongs to its area of responsibility.

In principle, interested colleagues are encouraged to bring in corresponding problems.

In cooperation with other research groups such as Prof. K. Albert, Institute of Organic Chemistry (in vivo MR spectroscopy psychopharmacological drugs in the brain), PD Dr. A. Stevens (Brain-Mapping) and Dr. G. Eschweiler (NIRS) questions of clinical and scientific significance are matter of interest.
