What the job involves

Conduct electroneurodiagnostic (END) tests such as electroencephalograms, evoked potentials, polysomnograms, or electronystagmograms. May perform nerve conduction studies.

Where AI reaches the work

The job’s main tasks, heaviest first, by how far AI reaches them.

Within reach(4)

  • Summarize technical data to assist physicians to diagnose brain, sleep, or nervous system disorders.
  • Explain testing procedures to patients, answering questions or reassuring patients, as needed.
  • Submit reports to physicians summarizing test results.
  • Participate in research projects, conferences, or technical meetings.

Out of reach(12)

  • Indicate artifacts or interferences derived from sources outside of the brain, such as poor electrode contact or patient movement, on electroneurodiagnostic recordings.
  • Monitor patients during tests or surgeries, using electroencephalographs (EEG), evoked potential (EP) instruments, or video recording equipment.
  • Conduct tests or studies such as electroencephalography (EEG), polysomnography (PSG), nerve conduction studies (NCS), electromyography (EMG), and intraoperative monitoring (IOM).
  • Collect patients' medical information needed to customize tests.
  • Attach electrodes to patients, using adhesives.

What these numbers mean

The score is the share of this job’s work, weighted by how important and frequent each task is, that AI could do in half the time: tasks an AI model could do alone count in full, tasks that need software built on AI count half.

“AI already used” is the share of the work in tasks where people are recorded using AI today. “As AI tools mature” counts every task AI could halve, with or without extra software.

The percentile compares the score with every job’s, weighted by how many people in the US do each one. Exposure means AI could change how the work is done, not that the job goes away. These are estimates for the typical job, not predictions.
