EEG BOARD EXAM WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS 2025- 2026 GRADED A+
What is Bell's Phenomenon? correct answers >>
Along with the closure of the lids, the automatic reflex
cause an upward rotation of the eyeball
-Partial lid closure can cause an eyelid flutter and can
appear as rhythmic theta in frontals
What is Nystagmus? correct answers >> -An
involuntary, rapid, rhythmic movement of the eyeball
Out-of-phase vs. In-phase correct answers >> Out of
phase: muscle movement & one deflection will be up and
the other down
In Phase: brain activity & both deflections will be either
both up or both down
How many milliseconds are in 1 second? correct
answers >> 1,000
In a standard EEG setting, how many seconds are on one
page? correct answers >> 10 seconds per page (10
second epoch)
,In a standard EEG setting, how many millimeters/second?
correct answers >> 30
Solve for Sensitivity correct answers >>
Voltage/Amplitude
Solve for Amplitude correct answers >>
Voltage/Sensitivity
Solve for Amplitude using a Legend correct answers
>> Calibration scale (uV) x wave height (mm) /
calibration height (mm)
Solve for Voltage correct answers >> Sensitivity x
Amplitude
Solve for Frequency correct answers >> If given
Single wave:
Distance of wave (mm) / paper speed (mm/sec)
If given Duration:
1 / Duration
,Solve for Duration using a Legend correct answers >>
Calibration scale (ms) x wave width (mm) / calibration
width (mm)
Solve for Duration correct answers >> Distance of
wave (mm) / paper speed (mm/sec)
Given Frequency:
1 / Frequency
Why would paper speed changed from 30 mm/sec to 60
mm/sec be done in an EEG? correct answers >> -
Capture more detail on fast waves
-This will stretch out page and waves to be able to help
see the spikes and sharp waves clearer
Why would paper speed changed from 30 mm/sec to 15
or 10 mm/sec be done in an EEG? correct answers >>
-Compress the recording to monitor very slow waves
-Shrinks page (more seconds per page) and helps to
pronounce slow wave
-Capture pattern of slow waves (rhythmic, periodic,
arrhythmic)
, Common Medication Types (7) correct answers >> -
Antipsychotic
-Antidepressant
-Anxiolytic or Hypnotic Drugs
-Anticonvulsant/Anti-Epileptic Drugs
-Ethanol
-Anesthetic Agents
-ACTH
Antipsychotics correct answers >> -Clozapine
-Risperdal
-Abilify
-Zyprexa
-Seroquel
Antidepressants correct answers >> -Celexa
-Effexor
-Cymbalta
-Lexapro
-Prozac
