Episode notes
In this episode, EEG technologist Brad Beauchamp sheds light on what it truly takes to capture a meaningful EEG recording—and why accuracy and attention to detail are everything.
Brad breaks down the essentials of strong EEG practice, including:
🔹 The importance of precise lead placement and real-time observation
🔹 How accurate documentation supports neurologists in making confident diagnoses
🔹 The difference between what a seizure looks like on the surface and where it actually starts in the brain
🔹 When and why intracranial electrodes are used to pinpoint seizure origins
🔹 The value of seizure journals in distinguishing epileptic from non-epileptic events
His takeaway? EEG is a team effort. From technologists and neurologists to patients and caregivers, every detail—and every collabor ...
