Electroencephalograph is a study of the brain waves. This study is painless for the patient and will let the doctor know if there is seizure activity.

The therapist computer is usually positioned behind the client. This enables the therapist to monitor the client's EEG at any time during the session without disturbing the biofeedback. A single electrode is placed on the scalp (above the motor strip, typically) using gel or paste and two other electrodes are attached to the earlobes. Most clients recline during training. The game computer is placed a few feet away, directly in front of the client. See similar questions...

EEG Neurofeedback therapy is a complex process working with one of the most complex parts of human anatomy. In a nut shell, EEG neurofeedback equipment monitors electrical activity produced by the brain. A neurotherapist (a licensed EEG neurofeedback professional) can correlate this brain activity with symptoms, conditions or behaviors. Feedback derived from this information is then "fed-back" in visual and auditory form to the client. See similar questions...

When we do EEG sessions, you will sit in a comfortable chair. First I will clean your ears and 2 spots on your scalp, one-third of the way up between your ears. I'll clip 4 tiny wires to your ears and paste 2 sensors onto your scalp. I'll clean off the paste when we are done. See similar questions...

EEG neurofeedback is non-invasive, holistic, and there are no significant negative side effects. It resolves (remediates) problems instead of temporarily suppressing them. The patient's own internal systems develop the ability to perform well on their own, without having to depend on drugs. In some cases, patients can thrive on reduced dosages of medication and in other cases medication may be eliminated entirely. See similar questions...

With EEG training the person is empowered to take control of both attention and concentration. There are no side effects (Joel Lubar 1995) associated with medications. Training helps attention when the person needs it mosr, for example, during the evening study hours when medication may interfere concentration or sleep. Training is the first step towards not requiring medication in order to concentrate on one's work in future years. See similar questions...

The simultaneous use of video and EEG is needed to verify when seizures begin and what they look like. Ambulatory monitoring provides a recording of EEG that is focused at the time patients report in a seizure diary. An event marker pushed after the fact makes the correlation between the patient's event and the EEG. This correlation is loose enough that a random EEG discharge could be misinterpreted as part of a seizure depending on when an event was signaled. See similar questions...

The EEG shows patterns of normal or abnormal brain electrical activity. Some abnormal patterns may occur with a number of different conditions, not just seizures. For example, certain types of waves may be seen after head trauma, TraumaAn injury or wound caused by external force or violence.Close stroke, brain tumor, or seizures. See similar questions...

Every one of your kids has their own Scorecard, so you can see all of their progress in one window. You will see a row for each child. On the left-hand side you will see their name and their CoolCat character wearing the outfit your child has given them. You’ll also see the last time your child has logged in and an “Edit” and “Delete” option for each account. Moving right from there, you will see their Handipoints and Bonus Points values.

Being able to locate the origin of electrical activity ("localization") is critical to being able to interpret the EEG tracings meaningfully. Localization of normal or abnormal brain waves in bipolar montages is usually accomplished by identifying "phase reversal," a deflection of the two channels within a chain pointing to opposite directions. (See sample.) In a referential montage, all channels may show deflections in the same direction. See similar questions...

EEG neurofeedback therapy is also called EEG neurotherapy, EEG biofeedback or "brainwave biofeedback". The feedback instrument used is an electroencephalograph (EEG) which monitors brain activity in great detail. This form of biofeedback is focused directly on retraining brain function in ways very specific to the particular diagnoses or conditions being addressed. See similar questions...

Routine electroencephalography (EEG) can be a useful tool in classifying a patient's seizure syndrome. Some seizure manifestations are typical for seizure onset in the temporal, frontal, parietal or occipital cortex. Specific electrical discharges from these areas can help determine where seizures originate. Unfortunately, EEG is limited by the amount of time that can be sampled. The prevalence of any specific abnormal discharge is difficult to estimate from standard EEG. See similar questions...

QEEG is one of the modern brain imaging techniques. Whereas PET and SPECT and fMRI scans look at how metabolic activity is distributed in the brain, the qEEG looks at how electrical activity is distributed over the scalp. In terms of imaging, nothing else is as fast in revealing brain activity as the qEEG. It is also completely non-invasive, and can be done in a clinician's office. It is well suited to the needs of the Neurofeedback clinician. See similar questions...

A - There are several reasons your doctor may suggest that you be admitted to the hospital for continuous monitoring. Monitoring allows your doctor to see precisely how many seizures you are having. It can also tell your doctor which drugs might be best for you by determining exactly what type of epilepsy you have. If you are being considered for epilepsy surgery, monitoring is necessary to locate the area where your seizures begin. See similar questions...

electroencephalogram (EEG) is a recording of brain wave activity. This test may help your doctor better understand your seizure type, by revealing transient irritable brain wave patterns that serve as a marker for epilepsy. These irritable brain wave patterns are called spike or sharp wave discharges. When localized over one brain lobe or region, spikes are considered "focal" and may signal that the seizure type is consistent with partial epilepsy (seizures that start in one part of the brain). See similar questions...

EEG stands for Electroencephalogram. It is a registration of the electric signals produced by the brain and measured in many different points of your scalp/head. MEG stands for Magnetoencephalogram. With MEG you measure electromagnetic fields in particular locations of the scalp. This signals from the brain are later analyzed, and they provide information to guide your doctor on your health condition. See similar questions...

Sinusitis sometimes contributes to a snoring problem. However, treatment for snoring often differs from treatment for sinusitis. It is best to consult a doctor for a thorough examination, diagnosis, and treatment plan. See similar questions...
