An electroencephalogram (EEG) tests your brain function. Healthcare providers order EEGs to diagnose conditions that affect your brain. Providers may use the term EEG for the test itself and what it shows. In an EEG, electrodes placed on your scalp track your brain activity. The electrodes send information to a machine that records brain activity.During an EEG, a technician places small metal disks (electrodes) on your scalp. The electrodes attach to a machine that monitors the electrical signals that your brain cells (neurons) make to communicate with each other. Monitoring that communication shows how well the different areas of your brain are working.
Why is an EEG done?.
*undiagnosed epileptic condition.
*Confusion.
*Fainting (syncope).
*Memory loss.
*Changes in behavior.
* Seizures.
*to watch for signs of epilepsy if you have conditions like:
*Alzheimer’s disease or *dementia.
*Coma.
*Infections, including *encephalitis.
*Traumatic brain injury.
Tumors.
*How does an EEG work?.
An EEG works by measuring the electrical signals or impulses that travel between your brain cells. EEGs track those signals by using electrodes that attach to wires that sense electrical impulses. The electrodes:
*Send information about the signals to an EEG machine.
*The EEG machine records brain waves and generates a visual output in the form of waveforms (traces) on a computer screen that recreate the pattern of brain activity recorded.
*Your brain wave patterns change when you’re awake, asleep or if something affects your brain cells.
*The image on a computer screen is your EEG.
Your healthcare provider will review your EEG for abnormal patterns. *PREPARATION
*Tell your technician about medications you take.
*Wash your hair the night before your test, but don’t use conditioner or styling products that could affect how electrodes transmit brain activity information.
* Take proper sleep.
