What Is Ambulatory EEG?
Ambulatory EEG monitoring allows brain activity to be recorded continuously over 24–48 hours while patients remain at home or continue normal daily activities. These studies can help capture events that may not appear during a routine EEG performed in a clinic or hospital setting.
• 24–48 hour studies
• home or clinic setup
• captures events missed on routine EEG
Who We Work With
• Neurology clinics
• Private practices
• Hospitals
• Neurosurgical groups
• Physicians needing flexible EEG coverage
Our Approach
At EEGsciences, we believe EEG quality depends heavily on proper setup technique. Careful electrode placement, low impedances, artifact awareness, patient preparation, and consistent recording quality are essential for successful ambulatory EEG studies.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is ambulatory EEG?: Ambulatory EEG is a portable form of electroencephalography that records brain activity continuously over an extended period of time, typically while the patient remains at home or continues normal daily activities. Ambulatory EEG studies can help capture intermittent neurological events that may not appear during a routine EEG performed in a clinic or hospital setting.
How long does ambulatory EEG last?: Ambulatory EEG studies commonly last between 24 and 48 hours depending on the physician’s order and the patient’s clinical needs. In some cases, longer recordings may be recommended to improve the likelihood of capturing neurological events or symptoms.
Can ambulatory EEG be done at home?: Yes. Ambulatory EEG can often be performed in the patient’s home, allowing brain activity to be monitored in a more natural and comfortable environment. EEGsciences provides mobile and in-home ambulatory EEG setup services throughout Los Angeles and Southern California.
What conditions may require ambulatory EEG?: Ambulatory EEG may be recommended for patients experiencing seizures, episodes of altered awareness, unexplained spells, memory disturbances, sleep-related events, fainting episodes, or other neurological symptoms that require extended brain activity monitoring outside of a routine EEG study.
Is video monitoring available?: Yes. Video monitoring may be available as part of ambulatory EEG studies depending on physician preference, equipment availability, and the clinical goals of the recording. Video EEG monitoring can help correlate physical events or behaviors with brain activity during the study.
