- Electroencephalography (EEG) – a test to diagnose and monitor epilepsy and altered states of consciousness
- Nerve conduction study and Electromyography used to diagnose disorders of peripheral nervous system such as carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathies and disorders of the muscle.
- Polysomnography used to diagnose sleep disorders
- Acute stroke care which involves the timely diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients. This includes the use of intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy to remove blood clots and restore blood flow to the brain. This is done with the help from the departments of interventional radiology and Neurosurgery.
