Because EEG is routinely performed at the practice, this increases the probability of identifying persons with features suggestive of epilepsy. These will be referred on to neurologists.

Significant EEG deviations from normal are tested against expected deviations from normal on psychological tests. The practice performs both EEG and neuropsychological tests.

Research based on functional neuro-imaging, including fMRI, SPECT, PET, EEG have confirmed the correlation between dysregulation in several brain networks with symptoms. These neurophysiological deviations, which can be detected by EEG, may or not be associated with epilepsy.
