You will be given a diary at your appointment to help record descriptions of events at the times of any occurring spells. The electrodes plug into a small recording unit called a headbox that is worn crossbody or in a small backpack. The wires are covered with netting and a bandana. Setup for the test takes approximately one hour and requires a technician pasting 25 small electrodes onto the surface of the scalp using a sticky, water-soluble paste. Once your test is completed and equipment is returned, your neurologist will compare your brain waves to what is considered normal for your age. This test is similar to a regular EEG, as described above, except without video. A sleep-deprived EEG takes about 1-2 hours. Do not eat or drink anything containing caffeine between midnight and the time of your test. This test is similar to a regular EEG, as described above, except that you will be asked to achieve 4 fewer hours of normal sleep or as directed by your provider prior to your exam time.
