An EEG test is a medical procedure that measures the electrical activity of the brain. It involves attaching small electrodes to the scalp, which record brain waves. This non-invasive test typically lasts between 20-30 minutes and is essential in diagnosing various brain disorders such as epilepsy, seizures, and sleep disorders.
EEGs provide valuable insights into brain activity and can help detect irregularities or abnormal patterns that may indicate neurological conditions. By capturing electrical impulses in the brain, EEGs play a crucial role in guiding treatment decisions and understanding a patient's condition. (Insert Picture)
During the test, you'll be asked to sit or lie down in a comfortable position. The technician will place electrodes on your scalp, and you'll be asked to relax. In some cases, you may be asked to perform specific tasks like opening or closing your eyes, breathing deeply, or looking at a flashing light to help trigger certain brain responses.
