How do you manipulate an EEG to not show epilepsyDoes drinking caffeine make it easier to find epilepsy or harderDoes taking Lamotrigin and Levicritam make it harder to findIt's only a 30 minute examination and not a sleep deprived one?
It's actually pretty easy to manipulate an EEG to not show epilepsy. Drinking caffeine makes it harder to find epilepsy because it speeds up the brain's activity and makes it harder to pick up on any abnormal patterns. Taking Lamotrigin and Levicritam can also make it harder to find epilepsy because they both interfere with the electrical signals in the brain.
What is an EEG of the brain?
An EEG is an electroencephalogram which is a device that measures brain activity. If there any problems in the brain they can be seen on an EEG. The brain produces electrical impulses and there are different patterns of impulses. It is this different patterns that are measured with and EEG that can show doctors what might be wrong.

TLE, as a whole, constitutes a common type of epilepsy. The exact incidence is not clear but it is suspected to make up a significant proportion of medication-resistant epilepsy.
Will you have epilepsy for life?
Not necessarily. It will depend on the type and cause of epilepsy. Some children get epilepsy which stops when they grow up. Some people get epilepsy as a result of a head injury. If the head injury heals their seizures may stop. Some people will have their epilepsy for life. They could have it for all of their life, or get it at some point and then have it for the rest of their life. Epilepsy can be controlled by medication, so some people get their epilepsy under control and if they stick to looking after themselves, they will not have seizures although technically they still have epilepsy. Each case is different and it has to be monitored by the person and their doctor.
Can you get epilepsy as an adult?

At the point of a converging lens the object cannot be seen.?
Yes, but it doesn't just float there in thin air. You need something there to make the image show up, such as smoke, tissue paper, fog, steam, ground (frosted) glass, etc. If you don't have any of those, you can take a short-focus eyepiece and look at the focal point with it. In the eyepiece, you'll see the image at the focal point. (It won't look like an image. It'll look like the object.)
What is the focal point of a piece of artwork?
Yes, all works of art have a focal point. It is up to the viewer to determine where the focal point is located at. Although, the artist generally has an idea to where the focal point is located when creating their piece.
