Have you been experiencing symptoms like seizures, confusion, or memory problems? Your doctor might suggest a test called an EEG (electroencephalogram) to better understand what’s going on in your brain.
An EEG is a safe, painless procedure that records the brain’s electrical activity using small sensors placed on the scalp. It helps doctors detect unusual brain wave patterns that may point to epilepsy, sleep disorders, head injuries, or other neurological conditions.
Because it provides real-time insight into brain function, an EEG can be a powerful diagnostic tool. In fact, it’s one of the first tests neurologists recommend when symptoms don’t have an obvious physical cause — especially when imaging like CT or MRI scans come back normal.
If you’re unsure whether an EEG is right for you, here are 7 common reasons to get an EEG test — and what to do next if one applies to your situation:
