Promoting Education and Attainment of the Highest Level of Knowledge and Understanding of Clinical Neurophysiology
The International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology (IFCN) has member societies in 62 countries. The IFCN mission is to promote best practice in clinical neurophysiology through education and research throughout the world. And our vision is to improve healthcare worldwide by understanding the nervous system and optimizing the diagnosis and treatment of its disorders through clinical neurophysiology.

Definition of
Clinical Neurophysiology
Clinical Neurophysiology is a medical specialty, or sub-speciality, concerned with function and dysfunction of the nervous system, caused by disorders of brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerve and muscle, using physiological and imaging techniques to measure nervous system activity. When interpreted in relation to the clinical presentation of patients, data from these techniques can either diagnose, or assist in the diagnosis of, neurological conditions and quantify, monitor and follow progression of such conditions. Clinical Neurophysiology also encompasses physiological methods for therapy of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
Education / Research
One mission of the IFCN is to promote the application of conventional or novel neurophysiological techniques as scientific tools to increase knowledge, to provide new information, or to solve existing problems.
