An EEG is a test that measures the electrical activity in the brain. This test is used to diagnose a wide range of neurological conditions that involve abnormal electrical activity in the brain, in various areas of the brain.

The test is non-invasive and is performed using electrodes placed on the scalp. It can be done in two main ways: while the patient is awake (alert) or during sleep.

An EEG can help diagnose the following conditions:

• Epilepsy (determining the type of seizures, adjusting medication, identifying the epileptogenic focus before surgery)
• Brain tumors
• Inflammatory brain diseases (e.g., herpes encephalitis)
• Autoimmune brain diseases (e.g., autoimmune encephalitis)
• Brain damage after head trauma
• Stroke
• Sleep disorders
• Chronic fatigue
• Encephalopathies, which can result from various causes
• Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
