In EEG, what you see is not always what you get. One of the most important—and sometimes frustrating—skills for EEG technologists is learning to distinguish true cerebral activity from artifact. Artifacts can mimic pathological findings, obscure critical data, and lead to misinterpretation if not properly recognized. Understanding EEG artifacts is not just a technical skill—it is essential for ensuring accurate diagnosis, high-quality recordings, and patient safety. What Is a

Attending professional conferences is one of the most valuable ways to grow as a neurodiagnostic technologist. Whether your focus is EEG, long-term monitoring, or sleep studies, conferences provide a unique opportunity to expand your skills, connect with peers, and stay current in a rapidly evolving field. With access to continuing education (CEUs), networking opportunities, and exposure to the latest technologies, conference attendance is not just a trip—it is an investme

It’s Neurodiagnostic Week! Seriously though…I think we need a whole month : ) For many of us in this field it feels like the Best Kept Secret in Healthcare! A career where you can work in a clinic, a hospital, an operating room or even from home. How is it that such a versatile and dynamic field can have such a large national shortage of qualified staff? For those working in the field we know how interesting and rewarding it is: That wow feeling when you turn on the machine

Trauma leaves marks that are not always visible on imaging, lab tests, or clinical exams. But on EEG, the story can be different. Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is often described in psychological terms flashbacks, hypervigilance, emotional dysregulation. Yet beneath these symptoms lies a measurable shift in brain dynamics. Increasing evidence suggests that PTSD is not just a disorder of memory or emotion, but a disorder of neural oscillations and network connectivity.

Epilepsy is not a single story—it is a collection of many, each written by the brain. When people hear the word epilepsy, they often imagine one type of seizure: dramatic shaking, sudden collapse, and loss of control. In reality, epilepsy is a broad group of neurological disorders known as epilepsy syndromes, each with distinct seizure types, EEG patterns, triggers, and long-term considerations.

If this is the year you plan to sit for a board certification exam—or if earning a second registry is your goal—the most important thing to remember is this: pace yourself.

Functional Neurologic Disorder (FND) is a neurological condition caused by changes in how brain networks function, rather than by structural damage or disease within the brain itself. Although imaging and diagnostic tests are often normal, the symptoms experienced by individuals with FND are very real and can significantly interfere with daily life.

This rare, genetic neurological syndrome that primarily effects girls causes a progressive loss of motor skills, developmental delays, breathing difficulties and seizures. What might we expect on the EEG?

Angelman syndrome (AS) is a rare neuro‑developmental disorder that affects one in 15,000 people.

When can a febrile seizure be concerning? In the rare circumstance that it is Dravet Syndrome.

In the realm of neuroscience, electroencephalography (EEG) stands as a pivotal tool for unraveling the mysteries of the brain. It allows...
