Artifact detection/elimination skills and advanced techniques should be mastered and applied independently at this level, such as intra-operative monitoring of complex procedures or long-term epilepsy monitoring with depth electrodes.

The technologist should be able to describe EEG and EP findings to junior faculty in a review-style format. The Principal EEG Technologist must be flexible to learn new and advanced protocols as needed.  Principal EEG Technologists should serve as resources for junior staff. The Principal EEG Technologist is expected to take responsibility for certain specific aspects of laboratory organization and serve as the lead lab team member in those individual areas of responsibility. The Principal EEG Technologist will maintain national registration credentials in the areas of technology relevant to each area in which the technologist works.  The Principal EEG Technologist will acquire continuing education units as recommended by the national accrediting body in the field and keep up to date with changes and advances in the field. Based on departmental needs, the Principal EEG Technologist (PT) may be required to float to other UCLA sites, must participate in the on-call schedule, and be flexible and available with the work schedule.
