This course is for anyone who has wondered: “ is that real or fake?” Artifacts in EEG can seriously hinder an accurate interpretation of the QEEG, altering neurotherapeutic protocol choices and potentially threatening the patient’s clinical outcome. Muscle tension can look like anxiety, lateral eye movements and pulse artifacts can create delta and the mis-interpretation of head injury, a contaminated ear electrode can create hypercoherence! This presentation will demonstrate how artifacts appear not only in the raw EEG data, but also in the QEEG data. Tiff hopes to spare you and your patients this dilemma in the future, as well as provide tips on how to avoid any mis-read of quantitative and raw EEG data.
