An ambulatory EEG is a long-term EEG recording performed outside of the hospital, typically in the patient’s home. For many patients, being at home reduces stress and allows for more natural sleep and daily activity patterns. Since seizures and other neurological events often occur unpredictably, monitoring in a real-world environment can increase the likelihood of capturing typical events. There truly is no place like home.

As neurodiagnostic technologists, encountering a patient having a seizure in the lab can vary greatly depending on the setting. Technologists working in an Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) may witness seizures on a daily basis. In contrast, those in outpatient EEG labs may encounter this situation far less frequently. Regardless of frequency, knowing proper seizure first aid is essential to ensuring patient safety and maintaining confidence in critical moments. The goal of this

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.

Neurodiagnostic training prepares healthcare professionals to evaluate the electrical activity of the brain and nervous system. These specialists play a critical role in diagnosing and monitoring a wide range of neurological conditions. As neurological care continues to grow in scope and complexity, high-quality training programs are essential to support diagnostic accuracy, patient safety, and clinical excellence.

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 next post in our EEG in Epilepsy Series with a closer look at Ohtahara syndrome—also known as Early Infantile Epileptic Encephalopathy.

Alobar Holoprosencephaly Review In today's Record Review video we are going to cover Alobar Holoprosencephaly, a complex malformation of cortical development. The blog information below reflects the information on this condition discussed in the video with resources cited below. We will discuss: What is holoprosencephaly? Classification of types What is alobar holoprosencephaly? Clinical features of alobar holoprosencephaly after birth What causes holoprosencephaly (HPE)? How

The human brain is similar to the busiest nightclub in the world, and instead of DJs, it has brain waves spinning diverse tracks depending on what we’re doing.

Our blog focuses on education and being a resource for all things neurodiagnostic; We wanted to take a moment to share more about who we are

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

It’s November and Integris Neuro is proud to support Epilepsy Awareness Month. With over 50 million people worldwide diagnosed with Epilepsy, spreading awareness and support provides opportunities for treatment and hope for a cure.

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

Tuberous sclerosis is a rare genetic disease that causes non-cancerous tumors or lesions that grow in the brain and other areas of the body; including the eyes, lung, heart, kidneys, and skin. Due to the lesions being located in the brain these patients can often be seen in our EEG labs receiving testing.

EEG plays a vital role in assessing disorders of consciousness—turning data into hope and clarity for families and clinicians alike.

Next up in our EEG in Epilepsy Series: Landau-Kleffner Syndrome - also know as LKS. Landau-Kleffner is a rare age-related epileptic...

Pediatric patients, as one would expect, take more time and definitely more patience; however, the importance of a quality recording remains the same and keeping that as our goal will help.
