In this module we will discuss part 2 of normal variants
Content:
- Non-epileptiform sharp transients
- Posterior slow waves of youth
- Temporal slow of the elderly
- Slow-fused transients
- Slow (notched) alpha variant
- 6Hz SWs
-14 and 6Hz Positive bursts
Learning objectives covered:
- Recognize and distinguish artifacts and normal variants from abnormal EEG patterns, and take actions necessary for eliminating artifacts (1)
