Epilepsy is diagnosed when someone has had several seizures. Various tests can be done to try and establish the cause, although for many people no cause can be found, as there are many potential cause. People will go on medication to help control their epilepsy.

∙ 14y agoThe first test they will do is an EEG which measures the electrical activity in the brain. If one or more abnormal brain waves appears, that is usually the trigger point(s) of the seizures. Other tests that are used are MRI and CT scan. These give an even better picture of the brain.

∙ 13y agoEEG studies are used to monitor brain wave activity. It can detect abnormalities in such brain waves. So it can be used to detect epilepsy. However, epilepsy is diagnosed when someone has recurring seizures. It is possible that someone can have unusual activity, but not have any seizures. So normally people will have had seizures before having a EEG study. The EEG study can help to find where the problem may lie.

∙ 14y agoEpilepsy has a wide range of causes and comes in different forms. An EEG is one of the methods used to help in the diagnosis of epilepsy, but there are other things, like an MRI, a doctor's examination and the information the patient or someone who has seen them have what they think is a seizure can give. Together they will be used to diagnose it.

What test do doctors use to study brain wave activity?
Doctors use an electroencephalogram (EEG) to study brain wave activity. This test involves attaching electrodes to the patient's scalp to measure electrical activity in the brain. EEGs are helpful in diagnosing conditions such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, and brain injuries.
Can a ct scan without contrast detect brain tumor?
Yes, brain tumours can show up very clearly on CT scans especially if the patient is injected with an X-ray dye.
What kind of wave is in the retina of the eye detect light and send signals to the brain?
rod and cone cells
What wave you can not surf on?
a brain wave
Why is an EEG test ordered by a neurologist?
An EEG test, or electroencephalogram, is ordered by a neurologist to evaluate and diagnose conditions affecting the brain's electrical activity, such as seizures, epilepsy, or other neurological disorders. It can help determine abnormal brain wave patterns and guide treatment decisions.
What is the definition for wave meter tubes?
A wave meter tube is a tubular device used to detect wave signals from electronic devices. It can be used to detect microwaves, and waves emitted from televisions.
What type of electromagnetic wave can be detect?
all of them
Light demonstrates wave characteristics when it is?
... monitored with a detector designed to detect wave characteristics. When monitored with a detector designed to detect particle characteristics, light demonstrates those too.
How do you detect if light is a particle or a wave?
Light is both a wave and a particle depending on circumstances; this is referred to as the wave-particle duality of light.
