The evaluation methods of the Teaching are characterized by exam sessions set in the scheduled sessions. The exam consists of a written task with both multiple-choice and open-ended questions on the topics of the Teaching. The exam aims to certify the student's knowledge of physic principles, electronic and operating characteristics of most common neuroimaging techniques, processing of neurophysiological signals, and examples of clinical and industrial applications. The elements examined for evaluation purposes are listed below: (1) the knowledge of the subject in all the areas included in the teaching program; (2) the use of a proper language; (3) the ability to reasoning; (4) the logical articulation of the wording; and (5) the integration of skills demonstrated in the response to exam questions.

The teaching of the Attività Didattiche Elettive (ADE) consists of seminars with the students. The seminars are all interactive, so the teacher stimulates the students with questions to which they, by virtue of the courses already followed, can give an answer. This allows the teacher to highlight the links between the current course and some previous courses, whose notions play a key role in the understanding of what is presented in the class. The continuous remanding to concepts of other courses must get the student to study the proposed subject not only with the aim of passing the final exam, but wants to highlight a multidisciplinary study, to which the student has to be educated and that is absolutely required for a master's degree student, now almost at the end of his training.
