<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>
<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, and Electrogel. You will need an electrocap, dropped ears (this depend on the amplifier),
    and sponge discs for acquisition.</p>

<p>To prep a client, place a pea-sized amount of nuprep on an alcohol pad, and scrub the forehead and the ear lobes.</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>
