Routine, ambulatory and prolonged EEG testing with specialized neurological interpretation, considering your symptoms, medical history, medications, imaging, and overall neurological evaluation.
An EEG is a non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the brain using electrodes placed on the scalp. Findings are interpreted together with the patient’s symptoms, medical history, medications, imaging, and neurological evaluation.
EEG may be requested as part of the evaluation of seizures, altered awareness, unexplained events, or other neurological concerns.
When symptoms or events raise concern for possible seizures or epilepsy.
For episodes involving staring, confusion, loss of awareness, or unusual behavior.
For patients with an established seizure disorder who experience new or recurrent events.
EEG may support follow-up and treatment planning when clinically appropriate.
If you already have an order, our team can help confirm the appropriate study before scheduling.
The appropriate study depends on the medical order and the clinical question. Our team can help confirm the requested EEG before scheduling.
A standard neurodiagnostic recording performed at the Center.
Extended EEG monitoring while the patient remains in their usual environment.
A longer ambulatory recording when additional monitoring time is clinically appropriate.
Extended home-based monitoring over a 72-hour period when ordered or clinically indicated.
Longer EEG monitoring, including video when clinically appropriate.
The cost of EEG testing may vary depending on the type and duration of the study, insurance coverage, and other factors. Our team can help confirm the requested study and provide information about scheduling and next steps.

Some EEG studies can be performed over 24, 48 or 72 hours while the patient remains in their usual environment.
EEG is a non-invasive test. Small electrodes are placed on the scalp to record electrical activity from the brain for the duration of the scheduled study.
EEG findings are interpreted within the broader neurological picture rather than as an isolated result.
Preparation depends on the type of EEG. Our team will provide specific instructions before your study.
Routine and ambulatory EEG studies may have different preparation instructions. Do not change medications, sleep schedules, or medical instructions unless directed by your healthcare professional.

Common topics patients may want to understand before scheduling an EEG.
General information to help you prepare for scheduling. Specific instructions may vary depending on your medical order and study type.
An EEG is a non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the brain using electrodes placed on the scalp.
EEG recording is non-invasive. The electrodes record brain activity and do not deliver electrical current into the brain.
No. EEG findings should be interpreted together with symptoms, medical history, neurological evaluation, and other clinical information.
The Center provides routine EEG, 24-, 48- and 72-hour ambulatory EEG, and prolonged or video EEG monitoring when appropriate.
Yes. Ambulatory EEG allows extended recording while the patient remains in their usual environment, following the instructions provided by the clinical team.
Duration depends on the type of study. Routine EEG is shorter, while ambulatory studies may continue for 24, 48 or 72 hours.
Yes. A medical order is required for EEG testing.
Preparation depends on the EEG type. Our team will provide instructions regarding hair preparation, sleep, medications, food, and documentation when applicable.
Result timing varies by study type and clinical workflow. Our team can explain the expected process when your EEG is scheduled.
