Electroencephalogram (EEG)
EEG records electrical activity in the brain using sensors placed on the scalp. It may be recommended to help assess seizures and selected neurological conditions.

Neurological Testing & Investigations
Different tests assess different aspects of nervous system function. The right investigation depends on your symptoms, clinical examination and specialist's recommendation.
EMG & Nerve Conduction Studies
Electromyography and nerve conduction studies assess electrical activity in muscles and how signals travel through peripheral nerves.

Neurological Imaging
Brain and spinal imaging, such as MRI or CT when available and clinically indicated, can help assess structural changes affecting the nervous system.

Why Neurological Testing?
Better Understanding of Brain & Nerve Health
Symptoms such as persistent numbness, muscle weakness, seizures or changes in coordination can have different causes. A clinician may recommend neurological tests to help investigate these symptoms and plan appropriate care.
- Brain electrical activity: EEG can help evaluate selected brain activity concerns, including seizures.
- Nerve and muscle function: EMG and nerve conduction studies can help investigate certain nerve and muscle symptoms.
- Structural assessment: Appropriate imaging can provide information about the brain and spinal structures.
- Clinical interpretation: Results are considered alongside symptoms, examination findings and medical history.
Know Your Test
What Do Neurological Tests Assess?
Learn about common investigations. Your clinician will explain which tests are appropriate for your condition.
EEG
Small sensors are placed on the scalp to record brain electrical activity. Preparation may include hair-care instructions or specific sleep guidance, depending on the type of EEG.
EMG & Nerve Conduction
These tests assess muscle electrical activity and nerve signal transmission. The clinician will explain the procedure and any relevant preparation before testing begins.
Neurological Imaging
MRI or CT may be recommended to investigate selected structural concerns. The appropriate imaging method depends on the clinical question, medical history and safety requirements.
Before Your Visit

Frequently Asked Questions
Neurological Diagnostics FAQs
Answers to common questions about neurological investigations.
An EEG records electrical activity in the
brain using sensors placed on the scalp.
It may be used to investigate seizures
and selected neurological concerns.
EMG measures electrical activity in muscles.
Nerve conduction studies measure how
electrical signals travel through selected
peripheral nerves. The tests may be
performed together when clinically indicated.
Preparation depends on the test. Some
investigations have specific instructions
relating to hair products, sleep, clothing
or medicines. Confirm the requirements
with your testing team in advance.
No. The need for imaging or other tests
depends on the symptoms, clinical
examination and medical history. A
clinician decides which investigation
is appropriate.
