Your EEG (electroencephalogram, or measure of brain activity) is not normally affected by MS. But your EEG can tell you about MS if used in conjunction with another diagnostic tool called a VEP (visual evoked potential) test. In a VEP test, you are seated in front of a computer screen while connected to an EEG. The screen displays different patterns (flashing dots or checkerboards), and the EEG measures the brain's response to the stimulus. More importantly, the brain records the delay between the stimulus and the brain's response. When someone with MS has Optic Neuritis, the signals from the eyes to the brain are delayed, and the VEP test will show this.
Multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is a medical disorder in which the myelin in the central nervous system has been destroyed, leading to impaired nerve function. This can result in a variety of symptoms including vision problems, coordination issues, and cognitive deficits. The exact cause of multiple sclerosis is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve an abnormal immune response targeting the myelin.
