PROCEDURE:
This is a digitally acquired sleep deprived electroencephalogram. Both referential and bipolar montages are examined. Electrodes are placed in accordance with the international 10-20 system. Recording time: *** min.
BACKGROUND:
During wakefulness, the dominant posterior rhythm was *** Hz, which was symmetric and reactive to eye opening bilaterally.
OTHER FINDINGS:
There was no focal or generalized epileptiform activity observed during this recording. There was no focal or generalized slowing observed.
HYPERVENTILATION:
Hyperventilation was performed for 3 minutes with good effort. No significant changes in the dominant posterior rhythm observed during hyperventilation. No abnormalities were noted with hyperventilation.
PHOTIC STIMULATION:
Physiologic driving was present. No abnormalities were observed with photic stimulation.
SLEEP:
Drowsiness was evidenced by waxing and waning of the posterior alpha rhythm. Vertex waves were observed over the fronto-central region. Sleep spindles and K-complexes were observed.
IMPRESSION:
This Awake and Asleep EEG is normal. No epileptiform activity was recorded during this study.
