The assessment is non-invasive, as EEG electrodes sit on the scalp and record the brain’s electrical activity through a conductive gel, similar to an ultrasound.
Patients are guided through a series of neuropsychological tests on a computer.
While some patients may experience fatigue while performing the assessment, it is far less taxing than today’s standard neuropsychological assessments, which are time-intensive and can take up to 8 hours to administer in some cases (Lynn 2021).
