REM in the frontal and anterior temp leads b. Asymmetrical eye movements c. ERG d. Amplitude asymmetries Midline theta rhythm is a 5-7 Hz "spiky" waveform which occurs in the frontocentral vertex head regions and is found in what percent of the general population? Select one: a. 20-40% b. 50% c. 25% d. 10% e. <1% Which of the following medications can commonly cause increased theta and beta activity at therapeutic doses? Select one: a. chloral hydrate b. antidepressants c. antihistamines d. analgesics Antidepressants Since a common ground electrode placement is at Fpz, ground lead recording artifact usually manifests itself as ________________. Select one: a. Alpha at Fpz b. Eye blink artifact in an illogical location, where an electrode has high impedance c. rhythmic theta in the occipitals d. 60 Hz at Fpz Runs of notched theta in the 6 Hz range, appearing focally in the mid-temporals over one or both hemispheres during drowsiness and light sleep. Select one: a. This is a normal variant called RMTD, or Rhythmic Mid-temporal Theta Discharge. b. This is a normal variant called 14 and 6 Hz positive spikes. Incorrect c. This is likely an artifact caused by movement of the tongue. d. This is an abnormal epileptogenic pattern. e. This is a normal variant called Mu rhythm. a. This is a normal variant called RMTD, or Rhythmic Mid-temporal Theta Discharge. Involuntary movements: (select all that apply) Select one or more: a. Myoclonic jerks b. Tics and Tremmors c. Respiration artifact d. Ballistocardiographic artifact A, B, C, D In the Illustration, the same data is modified and reformatted in the second sample. What parameter changed in the following sample? How does this help? Select one: a. Decreased sensitivity to better resolve the spikes b. Increased time base (analysis time/display time/epoch) or decrease paper speed, to scrunch up the waveforms to better resolve focal slowing c. Decreased time base (analysis time/display time/epoch) or increase equivalent paper speed to spread out the waveforms to better resolve the fast activity and spikes. d. Increased sensitivity, to better resolve the low amplitude activity Incorrect OSHA stands for ________. Select one: a. Occupational Safety in Housing Administration b. Oceanic Safety and Health Administration c. Occupational Safety and Health Administration d. Occupational Safety and Hazard Administration Occupational Safety and Health Administration Per the, "Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970" Number of distinct neurological diseases: Select one: a. precisely 386 b. less than 700 c. more than 8,000 Incorrect d. over 1,400 e. fewer than 100 Digital instruments require manual adjustments to the system sensitivity to modify the size of the calibration signal's deflection. This should be done, _________. Select one: a. monthly b. never c. weekly d. every other day e. every 6 months Incorrect No difference in electrical potential is called: (select all that are correct) Select one or more: a. summation Incorrect b. in phase cancellation c. equipotential Correct d. burst suppression e. common mode rejection causing no deflection Correct Most patients with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy have a history of at least a few Generalized Tonic-Clonic seizures as well. True To activate a child's background, what can the technologist do ? When the patient is alert, ask them to close their eyes or passively close the patient's eyes (gently hold patient's eyes closed for a few seconds). A simple partial seizure is _____. Select one: a. usually initiated by loss of consciousness b. always produced by a focus in the temporal lobe IncorrectIncorrect. While a simple partial seizure can originate in the temporal lobe, it can also originate in other areas of the brain. c. one with uncomplicated symptoms d. always initiated by loss of consciousness One with uncomplicated symptoms In Ohms Law, (named for nineth century German physicist George Simon Ohm, who derived it, E represents _______, I represents ______ and R represents _____. Select one: a. Voltage, Impedance, Resistance b. Resistance, Impedance, Current c. Electromotive Force, Impedance, Resistance d. Electrons, Impedance, Resistance e. Voltage, Current, Resistance Voltage, Current, Resistance In the "Standard EEG Coma Grades" Grade 2 is characterized as: Select one: a. near normal
