+## 🤖 AI-Powered Assistance
+
+This repository includes **AtomicAI**, your neurophysiology QMS assistant. Mention `@atomicai` in any issue or pull request to:
+
+- Draft EEG recording and reporting procedures
+- Create long-term monitoring protocols
+- Generate evoked potential testing SOPs
+- Develop equipment maintenance procedures
+- Create infection control protocols
+- Review documents for ACNS compliance
+
+### Example Prompts
+
+- "@atomicai create an SOP for routine EEG recording with activation procedures"
+- "@atomicai draft an epilepsy monitoring unit admission protocol"
+- "@atomicai write a somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) testing procedure"
+- "@atomicai create an electrode application and skin preparation SOP"
+- "@atomicai develop an EEG interpretation and reporting workflow"
+- "@atomicai create a neonatal EEG recording protocol"
+
+## Getting Started
+
+1. **Establish Technical Standards** - Define recording parameters and montages
+2. **Implement Quality Metrics** - Set up technical quality indicators
+3. **Define Reporting Standards** - Standardize interpretation and reporting
+4. **Set Up Equipment Maintenance** - Schedule calibration and maintenance
+5. **Train Technologists** - Use competency assessment forms
+
+## Key Documents to Create First
+
+1. **Routine EEG Recording SOP** - Standard 20-minute EEG procedure
+2. **Electrode Application SOP** - 10-20 system placement, skin prep
+3. **Activation Procedures SOP** - Hyperventilation, photic stimulation
+4. **EEG Report Template** - Standardized interpretation format
+5. **Equipment Maintenance SOP** - Daily, weekly, monthly checks
+6. **Infection Control Policy** - Electrode cleaning and disinfection
+7. **Artifact Recognition Training** - Technical quality standards
+
+## Special Considerations for Neurophysiology
+
+### Technical Quality
+- 10-20 electrode placement accuracy
+- Impedance requirements (<5 kΩ)
+- Filter and sensitivity settings
+- Montage standardization
+- Artifact identification and reduction
+
+### Recording Protocols
+- Routine EEG duration and components
+- Activation procedure requirements
+- Special montages (referential, bipolar)
+- Pediatric and neonatal considerations
+- ICU and portable EEG protocols
+
+### Equipment Management
+- Amplifier calibration schedules
+- Electrode inventory and testing
+- Computer system maintenance
+- Video synchronization testing
+- Backup and archive procedures
+
+### Infection Control
+- Single-use vs. reusable electrodes
+- Electrode gel handling
+- Skin preparation products
+- Equipment surface cleaning
+- High-level disinfection requirements
