ISCEV Courses (PDF)

An exciting line-up of experienced international faculty is preparing two intensive 2 day courses that provide a comprehensive overview of clinical and experimental visual electrophysiology with small group practical demonstrations, informal discussions and a course supper with the faculty.

The international faculty includes Michael Bach, Scott Brodie, Paul Constable, Laura Frishman, Anne Fulton, Ruth Hamilton, Chris Hogg, Graham Holder, Mineo Kondo, Bo Lei, Mathias Seeliger, Naoyuki Tanimoto, Dorothy Thompson, and Suresh Viswanathan.

For the first time, the two cognate courses, one focussing on clinical and the other on experimental applications of visual electrophysiology, will feature both mutual sessions on topics of general importance, as well as separate sessions on more specific subjects.

The courses embrace all levels of experience. They will start with a review of retinal and visual pathway physiology, and build quickly to the application and interpretation of respective diagnostic tests.

The focus of the clinical course is on ISCEV standard visual electrophysiology in adult and pediatric clinical practice including full field ERG, PERG, mfERG, EOG and VEP. Case studies based teaching will be used with reference to ocular imaging, genetics, disease pathophysiology, and non-standard stimulation.

The experimental course introduces common applications of visual electrophysiology and retinal imaging in animal models of disease, and provides important background on respective human genetics and disease pathophysiology. Practical demonstrations will include full field ERG in a mouse/rat phantom and OCT & SLO imaging in live mice.

ISCEV courses are traditionally a relaxed and friendly forum. Practical demonstrations will show ISCEV standards and related state-of-the-art diagnostics applied in practice with a chance to discuss with the faculty their views and tips about the details that underpin successful recordings. A section of technical guidance will provide a practical toolkit to make sense of the equipment specifications and meet your needs in the lab or clinic.
