CLINICAL NEUROPHYSIOLOGY LAB
Since 2008 Dr. Selina H. Banu has been the Consultant (Honorary) of the CNC, BPF, who has overseen the development of the Clinical Neurophysiology Laboratory as well as developed modules for training of professionals.
NEUROPHYSIOLOGY LAB
Established
2008
Tests conducted
EEG, NCV, EMG, BSAEP, VEP and ERG.
*EEG= Electroencephalography; NCV= Nerve Conduction Velocity; EMG= Electromyography; BSAEP= Brain Stem Auditory Evoked Potential; VEP= Visually Evoked Potential; ERG= Electroretinography
Machine donated by
CIDA (Canadian); Great Ormond Street Hospital, London, UK.

TRAINING FOR THE TECHNICIANS AND PHYSICIANS IN BANGLADESH
The center regularly organizes “Short Training on Childhood Epilepsy Diagnosis and Management”.
CERTIFICATE COURSES in Neuro Electro Physiology for the physicians and technician are presently provided under the banner of the Bangladesh Clinical Neuro-Electro Physiologist’s Society (BCNEPS) (established in 2006) registered under the society registration act XXI of 1860, by Registrar of Joint Stock Companies & Firms Reg No‐S‐10548 ‐09, where Professor Khan is the present and founder President, and Dr. Banu is the present and founder General Secretary, also provides structured certification training for the doctors and technicians at different level on clinical neurophysiology.
This table provides a list of physicians and technicians trained under the Structured Certification Training Course in Electro Neuro Physiology, till date:
| Year of Training | Module 1 | Module 2 | Total |
| 2008 | 8 | – | 8 |
| 2013-2014 | 1 | 7 | 8 |
