An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures brain activity. Electrodes (sensors) are placed on your head with wires that connect to a computer. The electrodes measure and record your brain function by displaying wavy lines on a computer screen.

An EEG may be used to diagnose or look for problems with:

• Confusion
• Abnormal movements
• Seizures
• Memory Loss
• Sleep disorders

Boys Town National Research Hospital records all EEG examinations. Long-term video monitoring is available.
