Ambulatory EEG Testing

An ambulatory EEG allows extended brain wave monitoring outside of a clinic. Electrodes attach to the scalp and connect to a portable recorder.

With this compact device, patients can undergo EEG testing for 1-3 days while going about normal activities.

The ambulatory EEG captures electrical impulses as people follow their daily routines, providing neurologists with a complete portrait of brain function. Patients sleep at home with the electrodes on, recording overnight brain activity. They can drive, work, and more while the recorder tracks EEG data.

Ambulatory EEG can be done with and without video monitoring. Your provider may request an Ambulatory EEG with video to establish a diagnosis of epilepsy and differentiating it from other forms of seizure activity.
