Electroencephalogram (EEG)

An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures and records the electrical activity of your brain. Special sensors (electrodes camera) are attached to your head and hooked by wires to a computer. The computer records your brain’s electrical activity on the screen or on paper as wavy lines. Certain conditions, such as seizures, can be seen by the changes in the normal pattern of the brain’s electrical activity.

Michelle Kuykendall

“I don’t know about you, but when I’m going in for any kind of testing, I’m always nervous. Today, was no different. Although, today I had some peace. I got called back, and Shawn made me feel at ease right away. He introduced himself and told me from the beginning how the test was going to happen. The whole entire time I was in the back, he spoke to me. He let me know what he was going to do, and how I should feel. That made it so much better, then not knowing. Plus it wasn’t just about the test, he made me feel at ease by talking a little bit about life in general. I loved it here. I have never felt so comfortable going into a test before. Hopefully, I won’t have to go back, but if I do, I know that the Doctor, the staff, including Shawn would take care of me. I would definitely recommend it here.”
