Aww, good doggo!
Sounds like an EEG test. Did they glue the electrodes or give you a cap? The glue can sometimes be really difficult to clean out.
I don't remember a cap or glue, but it was a few years ago now. I remember my entire head above my ears was wrapped up in tape. I shaved my head before we started even though no one told me to, but I'm glad I did.
You’d probably remember the glue if they used it. I worked in an office with an EEG tech and she only liked to use glue. It stinks of chemical fumes when applied and is tough to get out. I don’t think it’s the preferred method but was her preference.
There was a younger tech that would help with the take home video EEG tests. He wrapped people’s heads as you’ve described. Any way it’s done people are usually very happy to be free of it. :)
Yes. It was really, really hot. And it itched. I was pretty miserable.
