What is Ambulatory EEG monitoring?
This involves recording tiny electrical signals produced by the brain throughout the day and night. A small lightweight portable recorder is used to record your signals at home during normal routines and natural sleep. For this test we take a continuous recording of your EEG for up to 5 days. The EEG tests are painless and you will feel nothing during the recording. There are usually no after effects from the test, but a small number of patients may experience an allergic skin reaction. If you are sensitive to cosmetics, lotions or sticky tape, please inform the clinical physiologist before the test starts. There is no danger to pregnant women or their babies from this test.
