Normal EEG
12. Immediately following a generalized tonic-clonic seizure, the
EEG typically shows: -correct answer -generalized slowing
13. Common electrographic correlation of a seizure: -correct
answer -Rhythmic activity

17. When attempting to minimize relentless muscle artifact on a
recording, the tech. should be aware that lowering the high
filter could cause the artifact to resemble? -correct answer -
beta activity
18. What settings could be used to reduce the effects sweat
artifact in a patient with asymmetrical low voltage fast activity? -
correct answer -S=5 microvolts/mm, LF= 5hz. HF= 70 Hz.
19. What montage would best display the amplitude of a left
temporal spike? -correct answer -left temporal to the
contralateral ear
20. The best reference electrode in an awake patient with
excessive temporal myogenic activity would be? -correct
answer -Cz
