In reply to EEG?, posted by pretty_paints on June 9, 2005, at 6:50:45
i've had a few eeg's in my lifetime. they were all to check my brainwaves for epilepsy. i had to go 24 hrs without sleeping, and come in for my appt in the morning. they hooked me up to a bunch of wires(which doesnt hurt), and did a series of diff. things like; flash a strobe light in my closed eyes, let me drift off and then wake me... all of this is to check your brainwaves....mine had spikes which means i have epilepsy. i'm not sure what else they use eeg's for, but that is my experience. don't be frightened of them...the worst part of it is trying to keep yourself up for 24 hrs. hope this has helped.
