Electroencephalography and Clinical Neuroscience Society (ECNS)

In 1998 the American Medical EEG Association (AMEEGA) and the American Psychiatric Electrophysiology Association (APEA) merged to form the EEG and Clinical Neuroscience Society (ECNS).

Mission:
The ECNS is an international scientific and educational organization dedicated to disseminating knowledge regarding the latest scientific advances in all fields of electrophysiology as they relate to the understanding, treatment, and prevention of Neurobehavioral disorders.

The term “Neurobehavioral disorders” is defined here in the widest, most inclusive terms. This category will include, but is not limited to, head injury, epilepsy, pain syndromes, movement disorders, cerebrovascular disorders, metabolic and degenerative disorders, thought disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality and substance dependence disorders.

Electrophysiology methodologies include, but are not limited to, electroencephalography (EEG) both quantified and unquantified, polysomnography (PSG), evoked responses, magnetoencephalography (MEG), and eye movements as well as interventional electrophysiology methodologies like electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), deep brain stimulation (DBS), and EEG neurofeedback.
