Or the test shows sudden slowing of brain waves in the brain. These changes may be caused by a brain tumor, infection, injury, stroke , or epilepsy. When a person has epilepsy, the location and exact pattern of the abnormal brain waves may help show the type of epilepsy or seizures. In many people with epilepsy, the EEG may appear normal between seizures. An EEG by itself does not diagnose or rule out epilepsy or a seizure problem. The EEG records changes in the brain waves that may not be in just one area of the brain.
A problem that affects the whole brain may cause these kinds of changes. This includes drug intoxication, infections encephalitis , and metabolic disorders such as diabetic ketoacidosis. These problems change the chemical balance in the body, including the brain. The EEG shows delta waves or too many theta waves in adults who are awake.
This may mean that there is a brain injury or brain illness. Some medicines can also cause this. The EEG shows no electrical activity in the brain. This is a "flat" or "straight-line" EEG. This means that brain function has stopped. It's usually caused by lack of oxygen or blood flow inside the brain. It may happen when a person has been in a coma.
In some cases, severe sedation from drugs can cause a flat EEG. Lindholm DO - Neurology. Author: Healthwise Staff. Medical Review: Anne C. This information does not replace the advice of a doctor.

Test Overview An electroencephalogram EEG is a test that measures and records the electrical activity of your brain. EEG is the most useful and important test for checking if someone has epilepsy.
Check for problems with loss of consciousness or dementia. Help find out a person's chance of getting better after a change in consciousness. Find out if a person who is in a coma is brain-dead. Study sleep disorders, such as narcolepsy.
It was recognized early on that the brain's electrical signals or. Initial attempts to quantify brain activity with Fourier. Figure 1. Note that many EEG papers may rely on quantitative methods without using the. More than half a dozen techniques can now be used to v is ualize brain activity including.
EEG , although electrical activity from as few as 10, pyramidal cells acting.

Neurotherap is ts focus upon rhythms and activity within conventional frequency bands. Beta activity is usually divided. Moruzzi and Magoun were the first to shed light on the origin of EEG. Th is work eventually led to a general physiological model of. These volleys propagate to the cortex. When th is occurs, large slow waveforms theta, alpha are replaced. Desynchronization may be localized to. It is also assumed that d is tinct. The most reliable finding in EEG research occurs when an individual.
The alpha rhythm is replaced by fast low-amplitude waveforms, or beta rhythm. The degree and localization of blocking or desynchronization is associated. Topographic analys is reveals whether EEG. Baseline and challenge conditions should be replicated two or three during. Eyes Closed 1 and Eyes Open 3 differ from other replications. Physiological engagement is associated with stable states of low alpha. Labels reflect underlying. Sites are numerically sequenced from midline, which is set as zero or.
