A member asked:
I am scheduled to have an eeg but can it detect a problem when i'm not having anything happen at that second?

Helps inbetween: Yes, sometimes, the EEG shows something that is happening in between episodes, something that helps predict the chances of a seizure. If you have an episode during the EEG, that is helpful too.
