Electroencephalography (EEG)
Electroencephalography (EEG) is an examination method for diseases of the brain such as
- dementia
- but also with epilepsy after a stroke
- Metabolic diseases and
- unclear states of fainting and exhaustion.
Brain activity is measured using electrodes on the scalp. After the measuring electrodes have been placed exactly on the scalp, the examination takes about 15 minutes.
Brain wave activity is recorded at rest, when awake and with eyes closed. The reaction of brain waves is examined when the eyes are opened or when deep inhaling and exhaling as well as when the light is flickering.
We ask our patients to relax. This gives us good quality test results.
Preparing for Your Examination: EEG (Electroencephalography)
What happens during the examination?
An EEG measures the natural electrical activity of your cerebral cortex (brainwaves). For this procedure, a cap equipped with electrodes is placed on your head. The examination is completely painless and provides vital information regarding the functioning of your brain.
Your Preparation:
- Hair Care: Please do not wash your hair on the day of the examination; ideally, wash it the day before.
- Styling Products: Please do not use any hair gel or hairspray.
- Note for afterwards: Due to the contact gel used, your hair will likely be messy after the procedure. However, we provide a hairdryer and combs for your convenience at the clinic.
