During an EEG, the patient either sits in a chair or lies down. The nurse or technician will: 1. Electrode Placement: Attach electrodes to the patient's scalp using a conductive gel or paste. 2. Monitoring: Ensure the patient remains still and relaxed to avoid artifacts in the EEG recording. 3. Recording: Record the brain's electrical activity for about 20-40 minutes. In some cases, the patient may be asked to perform specific tasks or be exposed to stimuli such as flashing lights.
