Brainwave test may help diagnose autism

As a future Electro physiologist, also as an immigrant. It's very difficult to be a doctor which I used to be. I truly believes that it's impossible to be a doctor in Canada. I knew I should have recycled myself as early as possible. Since I am not the native English or French people, it's difficult to choose a major to study. Most of time, what I concern is that how to find a job after I graduate from college. When I am studying EEG, I keep asking myself what I could be.

Chart showing the increase in autism diagnosis.

Recently, I read an article from CBC news. It's talking about it may have new way to diagnose autism. That finding is that brainwave test may help diagnose autism. From this news, I noticed that there are about 1/68 children have been diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. As we know, there is not efficient way to diagnose autism. This news tell us this major goal of this research is to develop measurements to diagnose disorder. This study shows that it's possible to measure the process speed to identify how serious the autism of children is. It says that information which response from the brain associated with autism. If they can find how the brain activities effects the brainwave, which means it will approach the goal if they could find the standard. It seems it's not an easy job. Some experts consider that study area is quiet small and it could not provide more evident to show if this theory is correct. They also believes that it may be helpful if they could overcome the challenge. More experts will be done in the future.

I hope that this study goes forward very soon. Not only my career will be much important, but also many children who have autism will be diagnosed earlier.

A glossary of terms for EEG findings

In order to read and provide report to patient, Electroencephalographers should know how to write a professional report. The glossary what I list are most commonly used by clinical eclectroencephalographers and proposal for the report form for the EGG findings. Since all report should be decribed as precisely as posible, the students or poeple who work in this field must know all of them.

Absence

Use of term discouraged when describing EEG patterns. Terms suggested, whenever appropriate: spike-and-slow-wave complex; 3/s spike-and-slow-wave complex; sharp-and-slowwave complex

Activation procedure

(1) Any procedure designed to enhance or elicit normal or abnormal EEG activity, especially paroxysmal activity. Examples: hyperventilation, photic stimulation, sleep, injection of convulsant drugs. (2) Induction of an EEG pattern consisting of a low voltage record which becomes apparent upon blocking of EEG rhythms by physiological or other stimuli such as electrical stimulation of the brain (use in this meaning discouraged).

Baseline

1) Strictly: line obtained when an identical voltage is applied to the two input terminals of an EEG ampli®er or when the instrument is in the calibrate position but no calibration signal is applied. (2) Loosely: imaginary line corresponding to the approximate mean values of the EEG activity assessed visually in an EEG derivation over a period of time.

Blocking

(1) Apparent, temporary obliteration of EEG rhythms in response to physiological or other stimuli such as electrical stimulation of the brain (see attenuation). (2) A condition of temporary unresponsiveness of the EEG ampli®er, caused by major overload. Manifested initially by extreme, ¯at-topped trace excursion(s) lasting up to a few seconds (see overload, clipping).

Channel

Complete system for the detection, ampli®cation and display of potential differences between a pair of electrodes. Comment: analog electroencephalographs generally have several EEG channels. Digital EEG machines simulate a multichannel display by tracing several voltage time plots on a visual display.

Coronal bipolar montage

A montage consisting of derivations from pairs of electrodes along coronal (transverse) linear arrays. Synonym: transverse bipolar montage.

Cycle

The complete sequence of potential changes undergone by individual components of a sequence of regularly repeated EEG waves or complexes.

Deep sleep

Non-REM sleep stages 3 and 4 (Rechtschaffen and Kales 1968).

EEG

Abbreviation for electroencephalogram, electroencephalography and electroencephalographic.

Impedance meter

An instrument used to measure impedance (see electrode impedance)

Paper speed

Velocity of movement of EEG paper. Expressed in centimeters per second (cm/s) or millimeters per second (m/s).

Epilepsy action

Epilepsy action

This website is about Epilepsy. It was found by a leading epilepsy organisation in UK. Its goal is improving the lives of everyone who is affected by Epilepsy.It takes care of people who have epilepsy disease. It provides advice and information to patients. This information includes video, tips for living with epilepsy. Not only online website, but also they developed apps for smart phones and tablets. This app gives a seizure diary and medicine reminder. It also publics magazine whose name is “Epilepsy Today". People can read it from Amazon Kindle in any tablet and smart phone. EEG (electroencephalogram) is the most efficient way to detect and dialogise the epilepsy. Even though I am a student of EEG, I have been well educated by this website. From this website I realised that I need to study harder to learn how to use medical equipment and practice my skills to help people who are suffering from there kinds of disease. if you want to visti this website , please click here

In this vedio , I am going to introduce this website.
