An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a medical test that measures and records your brain wave patterns to identify problems with the brain's electrical activity. You can have performed at our hospital.
A safe and fast way to record brain activity, the EEG results help your doctor understand how the brain is working electrically and helps spot abnormalities. A neurologist or a sleep medicine physician usually orders the test.
The non-invasive, outpatient procedure does not hurt and you should be comfortable. The test takes about 30 minutes to complete.
Our technologist will ask you to lie down or sit in a chair, then attach electrodes to various places on your scalp. The electrodes connect to a piece of equipment called the EEG amplifier, which tracks and records the brain's electrical signals, then sends them to a computer where they can be analyzed.
Your doctor should give you any instructions about what is needed to prepare for your EEG.
Generally, no special preparation is needed; however, there are specialized EEG studies that may be done under different conditions. Ask your physician if any special instructions are needed to prepare for your test.
An EEG can help your doctor diagnose and monitor seizures, observe sleep patterns and check brain function after a head trauma.
