EEG Testing

EEG testing measures electrical activity in the brain to help diagnose neurological conditions.

EEG, or electroencephalogram testing, is commonly used to evaluate seizures and other brain-related symptoms.

At Thema Brain Health, EEG testing is used as part of a comprehensive neurological evaluation.

What Is an EEG Test?

An EEG test records brain electrical signals using small sensors placed on the scalp. The test does not send electricity into the brain. It simply records activity.

EEG testing helps neurologists understand how the brain is functioning and identify abnormal patterns.

How Is EEG Testing Performed?

EEG testing is painless and non-invasive. Sensors are placed on the scalp, and brain activity is recorded while resting or performing simple tasks.

The test usually takes a short amount of time and does not require recovery afterward.

When Is EEG Testing Recommended?

EEG testing may be recommended for:

• Memory loss/Impaired cognition
• Seizure evaluation
• Episodes of altered awareness
• Unexplained loss of consciousness
• Certain sleep-related neurological concerns

EEG testing is ordered only when medically appropriate.

What Do EEG Results Show?

EEG results help identify abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Results support diagnosis but are not used alone.

A neurologist interprets EEG findings in combination with symptoms and medical history.
