What Is an EEG?
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a diagnostic test that measures electrical activity in the brain. It’s a painless and non-invasive tool for diagnosing conditions like epilepsy, sleep disorders, and even brain injuries.
Why EEG Is Important
An EEG can provide critical insights into brain function that are often undetectable through imaging alone. It’s particularly useful for:
- Epilepsy Diagnosis: Identifying abnormal brain activity patterns.
- Sleep Disorders: Uncovering conditions like sleep apnea or narcolepsy.
- Traumatic Brain Injuries: Assessing brain health after concussions or accidents.
What to Expect During an EEG
Patients are seated or reclined while small electrodes are placed on their scalp. The procedure is quick, lasting 20–60 minutes, and requires no recovery time.
