SEEEG- electroencephalogram: is a test that detects electrical activity in your brain using small electrodes(aka the cool things glued to my head). Your brain cells communicate via electrical impulses and are active all the time, even when you're asleep. This activity shows up as wavy lines on an EEG recording. 〰
What happens in an EEG?🧠
1. A technician measures your head and marks your scalp
2. The electrodes are connected with wires to an instrument that amplifies the brain waves and records them on a computer.
3. You go through a series of test including strobe light, deep breathing for 5 minutes(to get the sensation that you’re hyperventilating) and then sleep!
4. Your body motions are captured by a video camera while the EEG records your brain waves. This combined recording can help your doctor diagnose and treat your condition.
And that’s about it! Super helpful to diagnose multiple brain disorders, and other sleep studies.
