Electroencephalogram (EEG) Testing

A painless test that records the electrical activity of your brain — helping diagnose epilepsy, seizures, sleep disorders, and other neurological conditions, reviewed and reported by our team.

What it is

A direct read on your brain's activity

An EEG (electroencephalogram) uses small electrodes placed on your scalp to pick up the electrical signals your brain cells produce as they communicate. The resulting wave patterns help our specialists identify unusual activity linked to seizures and other neurological conditions.

The test is completely painless, typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, and results are reviewed by our team before your report is finalised.

What it can reveal

Conditions an EEG helps detect

Brainwave patterns can flag neurological issues well before they show up in other tests.

Epilepsy & seizures

Abnormal electrical bursts that trigger seizure activity.

Sleep disorders

Disruptions in brain activity linked to sleep and wakefulness.

Head injury effects

Changes in brain function following trauma or concussion.

Unexplained confusion

Underlying causes of memory loss, blackouts, or fainting spells.

How it works

What to expect during your test

Check-in

Arrive with clean, dry hair — no oils, gels, or sprays applied beforehand.

Electrode placement

Small sensors are attached to your scalp using a soft paste, causing no discomfort.

Recording

You relax while your brain's electrical activity is recorded, sometimes during specific tasks like breathing or light stimulation.

Review & report

A specialist reviews the readings and your report is prepared for your consultation.

Who should get an EEG

  • Experiencing seizures or suspected epilepsy
  • Unexplained fainting, blackouts, or confusion
  • Persistent headaches with neurological symptoms
  • Sleep disturbances or suspected sleep disorders
  • Follow-up monitoring after a head injury

How to prepare

  • Wash your hair the night before — avoid oils, gels, or sprays
  • Eat normally; skipping meals can affect results
  • Get a normal night's sleep unless advised otherwise
  • List current medications for your specialist
  • Bring any previous EEG or neurology reports
