What is involved in EEG testing and how will it affect my life?
An AER board certified technician will come to your house and apply 23 electrodes to your scalp using special glue. (AER technicians don’t use pins or needles to attach electrodes.) Then your head will be wrapped in loose-fitting gauze to hold the electrodes in place. The other end of the electrodes plug into a lightweight, portable recorder that you will carry around with you in a fanny pack worn around your waist. (For young children, it fits in a backpack.) This recorder monitors and stores your brainwave activity for the duration of the study. Because of its portability, you will be able to participate in your normal, non-strenuous, daily routines for the most part.
