Sorry I can't help with specifics about an EEG, but I wanted to wish you luck with the procedure. Did they tell you why you need to have an EEG exactly?

The closest I can come to something that might help take some of the mystery out of the procedure is to tell you a bit about an ECG. They are similar in the fact that they are used to check electrical activity. With an EEG it is the electrical activity in the brain and with an ECG it is the electrical activity in the heart. From what I've read they are alike in that they place electrodes on you in specific places that are hooked up to a machine that will measure the electrical activity. I wouldn't think there would be any pain. There was no pain with the ECG. That is if you don't count taking off the electrodes, which was a bit like ripping off a band-aid. My biggest fear is that it might be painful and it wasn't. I would think that small patches of hair would have to be removed to place the electrodes on you.

Again I wish I could be of more help. I know that the idea of having electrodes placed on you and having those electrodes plugged into a machine is very sci-fi and crazy sounding. Just wanted to let you know that if you need any support I'm here.
