ASET – The Neurodiagnostic Society is the premier international professional association for individuals involved in the study and recording of electrical activity in the brain and nervous system. Organized in 1959, ASET’s purposes are to provide leadership, advocacy, and resources that promote professional excellence, patient safety, and quality of care in Neurodiagnostics.

Their 7,000+ members include technologists, students, physicians and institutions involved in EEG, evoked potentials, nerve conduction studies, intraoperative neuromonitoring, long-term monitoring, autonomics, magnetoencephalography, and related neurodiagnostic modalities. As a membership organization, ASET advances the neurodiagnostic profession by:
