The electrodes transfer information from your brain to a machine that measures and records the data. An electrode is a conductor through which an electric current enters or leaves. Other factors that can influence your EEG reading include:Īn EEG measures the electrical impulses in your brain by using several electrodes attached to your scalp. The person responsible for interpreting your EEG will take these movements into account. Several types of movements can potentially cause “artifacts” on an EEG recording that mimic brain waves. Factors that could interfere with an EEG reading Some people may not be able to hyperventilate safely, such as people with a history of stroke, asthma, or sickle cell anemia. Hyperventilation is also commonly induced during an EEG to produce abnormalities. The technician performing the EEG is trained to safely manage any situation that might occur. When someone has epilepsy or another seizure disorder, there’s a small risk that the stimuli presented during the test (such as a flashing light) may cause a seizure.
If an EEG does not produce any abnormalities, stimuli such as strobe lights, or rapid breathing may be added to help induce any abnormalities.
