It is a great honor to begin my term as President of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology. As we begin the 2026-2030 term, I would first like to thank the members of the outgoing Executive Committee for their leadership, dedication, and service to IFCN over the past four years. Their work has provided a strong foundation for us to build upon. I am also pleased to welcome the members of our new Executive Committee. I look forward to working together with them, our Chapters, Member Societies, committees, Special Interest Groups, and the wider clinical neurophysiology community over the next four years.

Clinical Neurophysiology is the official journal of IFCN and its member Societies. It has been adopted as the official journal of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Czech Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Brazilian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology and the International Society of Intraoperative Neurophysiology.
Clinical Neurophysiology is dedicated to publishing scholarly reports on the pathophysiology underlying diseases of the peripheral and central nervous system of humans.
Clinical Neurophysiology Practice (CNP) is a new Open Access journal that focuses on clinical practice issues in clinical neurophysiology including relevant new research, case reports or clinical series, normal values and didactic reviews. It complements Clinical Neurophysiology which focuses on innovative research in the specialty. It has a role in supporting established clinical practice, and an educational role for trainees, technicians and practitioners.
We are very pleased to inform you that IFCN has established an IFCN- Global Outreach(GO) Programme for Electrodiagnostic education in limited resource settings in partnership with AANEM (American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine).
The training programme will provide educational material through an on-line training portal provided by AANEM’s learning management platform. The IFCN GO training aims to provide a framework for Electrodiagnostic education-including remote mentoring and workshops in geographical areas where there are limited resources for such training.
The International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology (IFCN) has 71 member societies in 67 countries.
The IFCN mission is to promote best practice in clinical neurophysiology through education and research throughout the world. And our vision is to improve healthcare worldwide by understanding the nervous system and optimizing the diagnosis and treatment of its disorders through clinical neurophysiology.
Clinical Neurophysiology is a medical specialty focused on evaluating the function and dysfunction of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and muscles, through physiological and imaging techniques that measure nervous system activity. When interpreted alongside a patient’s clinical presentation, data from these techniques can diagnose or assist in the diagnosis of neurological and psychiatric conditions, as well as quantify, monitor, and track their progression. Clinical neurophysiology also encompasses the use of physiological methods for the therapeutic management of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
