24-Hour Ambulatory EEG (AEEG)
Ambulatory EEG monitoring allows physiological data to be recorded continuously from people in their normal environment. As brain function disorders sometimes cannot be sufficiently detected by means of routine EEG investigations, AEEG monitoring offers the advantage of allowing the EEG to be recorded for long periods while patients are engaged in their everyday activities.

Recordings may be made from patients throughout their normal routine for periods of one or more days without causing discomfort, as the recorder is compact and lightweight. This technique has proved useful in many medical fields including neurology, pediatrics, psychiatry and neurophysiology. The investigation of seizures is the most widely used application of long-term ambulatory EEG monitoring.

A particular advantage of long-term recording is the ability to record during transient disturbances of brain function and the collection of quantitative data on seizure frequency. Even after careful clinical assessment, the nature and origin of a patient's attacks may remain unclear. Recording during the behavior in question is often the only way of resolving these problems. Ambulatory monitoring makes it possible to continue recording until a spontaneous attack occurs.
