What is EEG?
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a diagnostic procedure employed to identify issues associated with the brain’s electrical activity. By tracking and recording brain wave patterns, an EEG facilitates the detection of abnormalities. During the procedure, small metal discs attached to slender wires (electrodes) are positioned on the scalp, transmitting signals to a computer for result recording.
Typically, the brain exhibits a distinctive and identifiable pattern of normal electrical activity. Through the utilization of an EEG, medical professionals can identify irregular patterns that signify conditions like seizures and other neurological concerns.
Why an EEG?
An EEG is used to detect problems in the electrical activity of the brain that may be associated with certain brain disorders. The measurements given by an EEG are used to confirm or rule out various conditions, including:
- seizure disorders (such as epilepsy)
- head injury
- encephalitis (inflammation of the brain)
- brain tumor
- encephalopathy (disease that causes brain dysfunction)
- memory problems
- sleep disorders
