No you misunderstand Amanda. A video eeg is different from a regular eeg. A video eeg is usualy done anywhere from a day to three weeks.

You are admitted to hospital. Hooked up to eeg wires on your head and actuallly videotaped to see what happens IN your brain the second you seize. They even have a button to press which will mark the eeg tracings if you feel an aura.

Dics do this do diagnose tough cases of epilepsy or as inbmy case a combo of epilepsy and psychogenic seizures is found. They also use a simular method when they are taking the deseased part of the brain out. It is pretty standard everywhere. As I've had it done in Canada, and in two hospitals in Colorado as well. There is actually an international requirement of where the leads go for video eegs. I don't reccomend them though. While it's computerised and you can get up and go to the bathroom and such. Having the eeg leads on your head for a week REALLY messes up your hair!
