LEARNING OUTCOMES
The aim of the course is students’ understanding of the human eye neurology but also more specialized neurophysiology issues related to their professional career.
Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to:
• understand basic concepts of ocular neurology
• know subjects of neurophysiology and data for the understanding of technological and scientific research methods in the subject of neurophysiology of the human eye
• be familiar with neurophysiology and scientific thought
