Dr. Felix Brizuela answered

Specializes in Neurology

You can on the EEg.: You can on the EEg. Whether or not you can notice it physically depends on were the seizure is and probably how strong. That's one of the reasons we do EEg's. To detect subclinical events, or events you don't realize you may be having.
