a detailed look at the brain and nervous system. An EEG (electroencephalogram) will be done to check the electrical activity in the brain. People with epilepsy will often have abnormal electrical activity seen on this test. In some cases‚ the test may show the area in the brain where the seizures start. The brain may appear normal after a seizure or between seizures. To diagnose epilepsy or plan for epilepsy surgery You may need to wear an EEG recorder for days or weeks while you go about your everyday

People whom suffer from continuous seizures can lead to death‚ called “sudden unexpected death in Epilepsy” (Web Md‚ n.d.). There are a few ways to check and diagnose Epilepsy‚ such as doing an EEG Telemetry test‚ taking a Family History‚ Medical History‚ blood sample to check for low blood sugar‚ calcium‚ and sodium (Web Md‚ n.d.).

Stage 1 “light sleep”. In this stage of light sleep‚ which lasts about 5 to 10 minutes our brains activity powers down by 50 percent or more‚ producing theta waves. Theta waves occur four to seven times per second. Moreover‚ these waves are slower than the beta waves of 13 or more times per second produced during active alert states and the alpha waves of 8 to 12 times per second when we’re quiet and relaxed. As we start to drift off to deeper sleep‚ we become more relaxed‚ and we may experience

brain three of those devices are fMRI (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging)‚ MEG (Magnetoencephalography)‚ and the EEG (electroencephalogram) - which is the most common one. The fMRI is an object that measures the brain’s blood flow; it also helps look at neural activity. The MEG is a device that helps capture magnetic fields produced by the brain’s neural activity. The last one is an EEG that is used to record electrical activity made by neural firing. A disease associated with the parietal lobe is
