EEG FAQs
What is EEG?
EEG stands for electroencephalography. EEG measures brain waves by tracking electrical activity in the brain. EEG is noninvasive and painless for children. During an EEG visit, small sensor sponges are placed on the head. These sponges sit on the head like a swim cap and passively record changes in brain electricity.
Is EEG Safe?
EEG is considered a safe, noninvasive method for measuring brain activity as early as infancy. We will make sure you and your child are comfortable during the entire EEG study, and you will have the opportunity to take breaks or stop at any time.
