Conventional electroencephalogram and sleep deprivation electroencephalogram

Recording of electrical activity in the brain. The test lasts between 30 and 120 minutes. Very useful for diagnosing certain sleep disorders, epileptic syndromes, and many other conditions. After the test, you may resume your normal activities. Requires sleeping less than usual, about 4-5 hours, the night before the study to make it easier for the patient to fall asleep during the recording. This method can detect many anomalies, particularly ones not observed during conventional electroencephalography while awake.
