13. A 14 year old female with a history of "body jerks" in the
morning presents first time seizure, what would you expect to
see on the EEG - correct answer- 3-6 hz generalized
polyspike and wave
14. Immediately following a generalized tonic clonic seizure-
the EEG typically shows - correct answer- generalized
slowing

answer- alcohol or barbiturate withdrawal
16. An EEG technologist observes what appears to be both
Mu Rhythm and posterior dominant rhythm at the same time
during the live EEG. What can they do to prove that the
rhythm is Mu? - correct answer- ask the patient to move their
contralateral hand
