My mother is in hospital right now from having numerous seizures, they are about to do this test on her while she is sedated! This video helped me better understand what they were doing this for! Very informative! Praying for positive results! 🙏🙏

At time frame 2:55, this video mentions four main waves form: Gamma, Beta, Alpha and Theta. Gamma waves usually not dealt in EEG and are in range more than 35 Hz. The author might want to mention Delta wave instead of Gamma.

I quite dont understand why people are fussing about the music. Im quite tired educational videos to have a very serious tone with no life in them. Music was treat for my ears and pretty lady there..treat for my eyes..I actually learnt something and enjoyed it all the same.. thanks for making such a good video.

I'm Epileptic, have been for about 38 years. I have had numerous EEGs.
I find that an EEG brings on seizures.
During the EEG each of those pulse is reduced just as I am about to have seizure. But the seizures dont just "go away", they are just postponed!
Within 12-18 hours the seizures begin. And not just one or two it will continue for about 14 days.
I know thats not the case for everyone, as a child my epilepsy wad much milder and EEG did not trigger seuzures. But it certainly does now!

I really really enjoyed watching this video! It gave me tingles up my spine learning about all the amazing features of the human brain! SO much love to the creator. I also loved the music

I cannot understand taste for loud into music (

Great job, so easy to undertand what EEG is. Many thanks.

She makes me want to go out and buy an EEG machine so I can add it to my Mad Scientist Lab equipment :D

[MRSDR]

This is great. I hope more laboratories share there methods for neuroimaging/ neurocognitive data acquisition. Thank you!

[harveyg.syrinfellow]

That's really great! It helped me a lot with my Psychology Diploma! Thank You!

I'm currently in a program on my way to becoming a registered EEG tech and we measure each individual electrode designation. We don't mess with the caps anymore.

Actually EEG is great at telling where things are happening, in some cases the eeg has to be done before the MRI can even be used, such as a spect.

Great video! I am working with EEGs at the Haskins Lab at Yale starting monday, so this helped with my understanding. I realized how much research you did when I started hearing phrases from Luck in his 2005 journal and other journals. I also like the music unlike some other people.

[azifahahmed]

waaw very easy to understand and I am just a nurse student. Thank you so much for making this video

Loud music and flashing images in a video for EEG analysis? Is this some sort of sick joke?

[purplemirror]

I had one this past week! Weird yellow cap, with holes covered in grommets.
Salt water (I think) injected into the holes, then I was told to close my eyes and I saw magenta lights.
Totally wild!

Nice video! may I ask about the sotfware that you used?
which recommendations would you give to someone who is thinking about assess brain's electrical activity with movement?

[camellight]

Can you suggest a book that would serve as a nice intro to understanding EEG? I am a clinician getting trained in neurofeedback and I'd like to get a better understanding of the mechanisms of eeg. A lot of the articles I've read use terminology that far exceeds my understanding of EEG. I'm hoping you can provide me with a nice primer on the subject in the form of articles that I can find or books. Thanks for the video.

Personally, I loved the video. I found it very helpful and very easy to understand. The music was not a distraction at all for me, in fact, I liked it.

I got an eeg appointment soon due to me passing out at work last week that left me with a frontal part of my tongue numb. Been suffering from cluster headaches for 15 yrs now and recently been suffering from anxiety attacks. Hope this test help to figure what is going on with this crazy brain of mine.
