Also Known As:
An Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a diagnostic procedure that measures the electrical activity of the brain through electrodes placed on the scalp. The digital EEG captures brain wave patterns and helps detect abnormal brain activity that could indicate conditions such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, head injuries, and neurological diseases. The test is non-invasive, with no pain or discomfort, and is commonly used to diagnose seizure disorders. The electrical signals are displayed on a monitor, providing healthcare providers with detailed insights into how the brain is functioning. EEGs are particularly useful for assessing brain function over time, and they can reveal irregular brain wave patterns even when a patient is not showing any obvious symptoms. This test is commonly ordered for patients experiencing unexplained episodes such as blackouts, memory problems, or unusual behavior, as it offers crucial information for a proper diagnosis.
