Event Details
Course introduction:
Ambulatory EEG devices offer portable, multi-channel, digital EEG recording with or without video in the patient’s natural environment. The technology applied for AEEG recording is like the technology for routine EEG and inpatient long-term video-EEG monitoring but is designed to be compact and wearable. Computer-based AEEG technology is well suited to digital recording, signal processing, and visual display, however, acquiring interpretable EEG outside of the hospital setting presents different technical challenges.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this seminar the participants will be able to:
- Compare the role of ambulatory EEG to other forms of short-term and long-term EEG recording
- Understand the technological basis and clinical yield of ambulatory EEG
- Understand the role of ambulatory EEG in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with epilepsy
- Recognize the future implications of ambulatory EEG monitoring
