TMS Session - Prof. Mills qualified in Medicine in 1975.  After junior training posts and research posts at UCH and Queen Square, he went to Oxford as a Lecturer in Clinical Neurophysiology in 1987 and was awarded a personal chair in 1998. In 1999 he moved to King’s College London

Prof Mills’ research interests include muscle disease, muscle fatigue, motor control and the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation to investigate corticospinal function. He has published widely on these aspects of neurophysiology with over 230 publications and one monograph.

qEEG Session - Dr Scheuer is board certified in neurology by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, and in clinical neurophysiology by the American Board of Clinical Neurophysiology. Dr Scheuer’s research interests include near real-time brain function monitoring technology, automated seizure and spike detection, new EEG analysis techniques, and antiepileptic drug pharmacology. 

Dr Scheuer was the Director of the University of Pittsburgh’s Epilepsy Centre and their Neurology Residency Training Program. Prior to that, he was an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Columbia University, where he also served as the Director of the Clinical Epilepsy Program at the Columbia Comprehensive Epilepsy Centre.

The TMS workshop aims to provide 1: a summary of the physiology of TMS providing information on the function of the corticomuscular system, 2: the parameters of motor evoked potentials which are useful in a clinical setting and 3: the use of TMS in the differential diagnosis of ALS, cervical myelopathy, stroke and MS.

We also aim to demonstrate TMS and have a Q & A session.

qEEG Interactive Session:

- Case 1: A patient with spells of uncertain nature

- Case 2: Monitoring during anaesthetic therapy for the treatment of status epilepticus in a child

- Case 3: Brain function monitoring in the neonatal ICU
