Electroencephalogram (EEG)

A safe, non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the brain to help diagnose seizures, neurological disorders, and changes in brain function.

What is an EEG?

Understanding EEG Testing

An electroencephalogram (EEG) measures and records the electrical signals produced by your brain. Small sensors are placed on the scalp to detect brain wave patterns, which are then analyzed by a specialist.

 

EEG testing is painless, non-invasive, and performed in an outpatient setting. The information gathered helps physicians evaluate abnormal brain activity and guide accurate diagnosis.
