At the Emery Neuroscience Center, state of the art equipment by Cadwell Inc. is used to record digital and video analysis.  All testing is performed by Registered Technologists affiliated with the American Society of Electroneurodiagnostic Technology. Below are some of the procedures performed:

Electroencephalogram  (EEG):  This is a test to determine brain function. Disc electrodes are attached to the patients head and chest. The machine records how the brain and heart are working  and at the same time videos the patient  for observation.  An EEG is ordered for  Stroke, Syncope,  Seizures, Memory Loss, Vertigo (dizziness), Headaches, Multiple Sclerosis, Altered Mental Status, and Brain Death Determination.

Long Term Electroencephalogram (LTM/EEG):  This test is done to determine epilepsy and adjust anticonvulsant medications if necessary.  If a routine EEG, which is run for 20 minutes to an hour does not clarify what the doctor is looking for, a Long Term EEG  with video may be ordered.  The patient comes in early in the morning and the test is run for an entire day.

The patient comes in early in the morning and the electrodes are put on.  Instead of staying in the doctors office all day, the patient is allowed to leave carrying a small recorder box. The head is wrapped in order for the wires to stay in place, so the patient may want to bring a hat.  The next morning the patient comes in, the monitor and electrodes are removed and the patient leaves.  The technologist and Dr. Emery view the entire recording.
