The test itself will take about 30-60 minutes. Placing the electrodes usually takes 20 minutes, but can take up to an hour, so the entire procedure may take about one to 2 hours. If you have an ambulatory EEG, brain activity is recorded for 24 hours or more.
If your doctor wants you to have a video EEG â where you are monitored by a video camera while the EEG is in progress â you may need to have a short hospital stay. A video EEG is useful for providing a record of your EEG pattern during the exact time of any suspected seizure activity. Sometimes your doctor will ask for an ambulatory EEG, where brain activity is recorded for a longer period of time (usually 24 hours) away from the hospital.
