General Information About the Test
Test Process and Preparation
Small electrodes (wired discs) are attached to the patient's scalp using a special gel. The device transmits the very low-intensity electrical signals emitted by the brain to a computer screen in the form of waves. The recording takes an average of 20-40 minutes.
Absolutely not. The EEG device does not transmit electricity to the brain; it only records the electricity naturally produced by the brain. It is a completely painless and harmless procedure.
The hair must be clean and dry, and styling products such as gel or hairspray must not be used. It is preferred that the patient is not fasting. In some cases, if a "Sleep EEG" is requested, the patient may be asked to remain awake the night before.
