✔✔normal
✔✔very high voltage, generalized, but anterior-dominant fast activity appearing as
continuous sleep spindles sometimes found in mental retardation has been referred to
what kind of spindles - ✔✔extreme spindles
✔✔a 60 year old male presents with new onset dementia and myoclonus. what would
you expect to see on the eeg? - ✔✔generalized periodic epileptiform discharges

✔✔no alpha background
✔✔normal eeg in adults of age 70 or older is similar to those younger with the following
exceptions - ✔✔rem sleep is less than 20% of total sleep time
✔✔what is the value of recording a patients maximal awake state - ✔✔to distinguish
slowing from drowsiness
✔✔which of the following represents an abnormal eeg pattern - ✔✔alpha frequency of 9
hz in o1 and 11.5 hz in o2
✔✔when the posterior background rhythm does not attenuate with eye opening it is
referred to as - ✔✔bancaud phenomenon
