A registered neurodiagnostic technologist at Neuroscience Group, explains the process of an EEG test, what types of patients require an EEG and how patients can prepare for the test. EEG (electroencephalogram) is a brainwave test that records the electrical activity of the brain, similar to the way an EKG records the heart's rhythm. This test is normally used on people who have undergone neurological problems including fainting spells, blackout, dizziness and head trauma.
