THE EEG TEST

ABOUT YOUR BRAIN

In your brain, cells generate electrical impulses which carry messages to all parts of the body through a complex system of nerves. The brain receives information when light, sound, etc. produce electrical impulses in nerves leading to the brain. The brain sends out electrical impulses, which control actions such as muscle coordination, speech and vision. These electrical messages to and from the brain can become altered by illness or injury. This test can help detect the locations and cause of the problem.

ABOUT THE ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM

The Electroencephalogram (EEG) provides important information about the health and function of the brain. Electrodes are applied with adhesive to key locations on your head. The adhesive easily washes or shampoos out. These electrodes have wires leading to the EEG machine. The machine picks up electrical impulses in your brain and records test on graph paper so they can be analyzed.
