An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test used to detect the electrical activities of the brain by placing small metal discs (electrodes) on the scalp. Our brain cells, or neurons, communicate with each other using electrical impulses and remain active at all times, even during sleep. An EEG can detect changes in brain function, which is helpful for diagnosing disorders such as epilepsy or other seizure disorders. It is considered one of the main diagnostic tests for detecting epilepsy or seizures and can also help diagnose other brain disorders such as brain damage, encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), or stroke. This important diagnostic tool is available at Nirvan Hospital to rule out seizure activities in the brain, along with other diagnostic analyses. The center is equipped with the top-class EEG machine, NEUROCOMPACT, developed by Medicaid Systems. The EEG procedure is safe and painless.
