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.

Neurodegenerative diseases rarely announce themselves loudly. Instead, they begin quietly—through subtle cognitive changes, mild motor shifts, or barely noticeable alterations in brain rhythms. For EEG technologists, those changes are often visible long before they become clinically obvious. Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease have traditionally been diagnosed through clinical evaluation and imaging. However, EEG is emerging as a tool for early detection, monitoring

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.

Whether your patient is scheduled for a Routine EEG or a Long-Term Video EEG — Test prep prior to the procedure can drastically improve the outcome of the recording. The data obtained is only as good as the quality of the lead placement.

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

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.

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.
