EEG Basics

Learn the basics of EEG with Fabio Nascimento & Jay Gavvala.
Please note: this video does not include the modified 10-10 terminology which replaces the inconsistent T3/T4 and T5/T6 terms with the consistent T7/T8 and P7/P8.

Excellent explanation

Totally needed this to understand the videos on the EEGTalk podcast. Thanks so much!

Super welcome! Happy it was helpful! =)

@ u have no idea i swaer i've been struggling with eeg since i started my residency and now i have a glimpse of hope 😂 can't thank u enough, all the best really!

@@emanemara1001 So happy to hear! Once you get the hang of it, it gets much easier & SO MUCH FUN! =) Hang in there and keep tuned - you'll be reading EEG in no time! =)

Thank you so much

And so if you were to compare O1 - T5 instead of the original order, would the polarity reverse because it's a relative measurement? Is there a reason you had the comparison set the way you did?

Sensacional

Obrigado, mestre! Que bom que gostou! =)

When you are looking at the bipolar montages, we see how T3 is more negative than T5 and that T5 is more negative than 01 in both examples.
My question is, is in these examples why is it that there is a greater spike in potential difference between two electrodes the closer they are to the point of maximal negativity?
Why is the difference between T3 and T5 not equal to the difference between T5 and O1?

I want to know this too

I have only mild headaches and no convulsions or loss of consciousness, but the EEG has been called abnormal due to a rare left temporal sharp transient with phase reversal at T3/T5, and they prescribed Keppra, on which I am so unhappy. The sharp waves don't stand out from the background in amplitude, and to me it looks like the normal ones you show. How can I find a neurologist that will re-read or re-perform the EEG and not over-read the EEG? I am in Charlotte, NC, if you know of someone. Thank you.
