Long gone are the days when athletes were encouraged to shake off a concussion and get back to play as soon as possible.

Children who present with altered mental status or possible seizures could be suffering from one of a number of causes. While EEG could help sort through that extensive differential, the practical barriers to EEG use in the emergency department or the PICU for diagnosticians to rely on indirect assessments. Fortunately, new technology is now available that allows EEG to be deployed rapidly and accurately in children and adolescents.

Routine electroencephalography (EEG) suffers from the same problem as a standard 12 lead electrocardiogram (ECG): it is limited in time. A standard ECG captures 10 seconds of the heart’s electrical activity while a standard EEG captures perhaps 10 to 20 minutes of the brain’s electrical activity.
