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

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.

For decades, anesthesiology has relied on vital signs, reflexes, and clinical observation to estimate depth of anesthesia . Changes in heart rate, blood pressure, or movement have long guided intraoperative decisions. But these outward signs reflect indirect physiologic responses—not what is actually happening in the brain. Beneath the surface, cortical activity is far more complex. EEG-guided anesthesia provides a direct window into that complexity. By monitoring brain act

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.

Remote EEG monitoring has become a critical component of modern neurodiagnostics, allowing for continuous patient observation without constant bedside presence. While technology enables this model, success in remote monitoring depends on the technologist, not the software alone. Excelling in this role requires more than technical knowledge. Vigilance, communication, time management, and a disciplined workflow are essential to protecting patient safety and delivering meaningf

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

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

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.

Though often dismissed as a non specific finding, FIRDA can be a key to identifying deeper neurological or systemic problems. So, what does FIRDA tell us and when should we take it seriously?

A major role of our immune system is to recognize and eliminate infections. But sometimes parts of the immune system may instead react with our own body to cause autoimmune diseases. When this reaction is against proteins of the limbic areas of the brain, this is called ‘autoimmune limbic encephalitis’.
