What is an EEG you might ask?
EEGs are necessary tests where electrodes (with wires to connect to a small portable device) are placed on your head and record the brainwave activity. The results of the test, along with corresponding video, help doctors identify what is happening physically and electrically. These non-invasive tests are key to helping patients receive proper diagnosis and treatment.
