EEG Testing: Expert Brainwave Analysis at Chicago Neurological Services
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a vital diagnostic tool that records brain activity to help identify neurological conditions such as seizures, epilepsy and cognitive impairments. At Chicago Neurological Services, we specialize in advanced EEG testing using state-of-the-art technology to provide accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans.
What Is an EEG?
An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a non-invasive, painless test that measures electrical activity in the brain using small electrodes placed on the scalp. This test helps neurologists evaluate brain function and detect abnormalities that may indicate neurological disorders.
Why Would You Need an EEG?
EEGs are commonly used to diagnose and monitor conditions such as:
✅ Epilepsy & Seizure Disorders – Identifies abnormal brain wave patterns associated with seizures
✅ Unexplained Fainting or Blackouts – Helps determine if neurological activity is the cause
✅ Head Injury & Concussion – Assesses brain function after trauma
✅ Cognitive Issues & Memory Loss – Evaluates brain function in conditions like Alzheimer’s or dementia
