Barack and Michelle Obama did not adopt either of their two daughters. Perhaps you are thinking of Mr. Obama's 2008 opponent, John McCain-- he and his wife Cindy did adopt a lâ¦ittle girl from Bangladesh.
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.
EEG provides a unique way of monitoring cerebral function in the intensive care unit (ICU) and it is useful both for recording short and long acting events. Typically, epileptic spikes may last for a fraction of seconds, but recordings for many hours, for example during sleep cycles may also give important information. Recordings lasting for many days may also be useful, to reflect slow trend changes in the EEG. One basic requirement for an EEG monitor in the ICU is that it has to present the original EEG on a monitor display, and also has to provide a paper printout.
