<h3><b>HOW DO I INSTRUCT PATIENTS TO PREPARE FOR AN EEG?</b></h3><br>
<p>Before your client comes in for their EEG, you will want to remind them of a few hygiene and self-care tips to ensure you get the best recording possible:</p>

<br>
<ul>
    <li>Don't drink alcohol the night before.</li>
    <li>Limit caffeine intake to zero or at most, one cup of coffee.</li>
    <li>Don't come in hungry.</li>
    <li>Don't come in drowsy.</li>
    <li>Limit hair products.</li>
    <li>Get a good night's sleep.<br></li>
</ul>
It is important that the clinician or neurotherapy technician is in good standing health when working with patients, we never want to work with another if harboring a cold or other illness. In addition, be sure to sanitize all equipment that is used on clients (i.e. electrodes) inbetween patients and do not reuse EEG caps between patients unless sanitized.&nbsp;<br><br>
<p>The products you will need to prepare your client for EEG acquisition include Nuprep, an alcohol pad or cotton ball + 70% alcohol rubbing alcohol, a blunt tip syringe (you will want to dispose of these inbetween clients), and Electrogel. You will need an electrocap, dropped ears (this depend on the amplifier),
    and sponge discs for acquisition.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Each hardware/software system differs in the steps you need to take to record. However, whichever system you use, you will need to ensure low impedance. This can be done with a QCheck with the NeuroField System, a Checktrode system, or any built-in impedance
    system, such as EEGStudio’s impedance meter.</p>
