American Clinical Neurophysiology Society

Mission: To serve patients and society by empowering members to advance the science, practice and profession of clinical neurophysiology. Vision: To optimize neurologic health through understanding of nervous system function. The American Clinical Neurophysiology Society (ACNS) was founded in 1946, originally named the American Electroencephalographic Society (AEEGS). In 1995, AEEGS changed its name to the current designation, ACNS, to more accurately encompass the scope of its mission and goals. ACNS is the major professional organization in the United States devoted to the establishment and maintenance of standards of professional excellence in clinical neurophysiology in the practice of neurology, neurosurgery and psychiatry. ACNS members utilize neurophysiology techniques in the diagnosis and management of patients with disorders of the nervous system and in research examining the function of the nervous system in health and disease.
