Description
In this episode, EEG technologist and educator Marcia Reid opens up about a topic that doesn’t get enough attention: performing EEGs on patients with all hair types.
Marcia shares how understanding texture and technique can make or break an EEG recording. She discusses:
🔹 Common challenges with electrode application
🔹 The lack of formal education around electrode application
🔹 How assumptions and lack of knowledge can impact both patient comfort and data quality 🔹 Tips and resources to help EEG technologists gain confidence and skill
Marcia’s message is clear: EEG education isn’t just about hair—it’s about ensuring every patient receives the highest quality care. Keep in mind Marcia's catchphrase - "When in doubt, expose the scalp!"
