What equipment is needed to carry out an EEG?

To carry out an electroencephalogram (EEG), you need an EEG machine that includes electrodes to detect electrical activity in the brain, a conductive gel or paste to ensure good contact, and a computer or recording device to capture and analyze the data. Additionally, a cap or headset may be used to hold the electrodes in place on the patient's scalp. Proper preparation, including cleaning the scalp, is also essential for accurate results.
