Abstract
- Electroencephalography (EEG) has been used for decades to evaluate and assess brain function. It is a useful method to diagnose brain disorders. However, confirmed interpretation of EEG is quite challenging because there is no standardized method for EEG reading and this may lead to interrater variability even among expert electroencephalographers. In this background, uniformly accepted nomenclature for EEG pattern were required to improve interrater agreement and to support communication for EEG research. American Clinical Neurophysiology Society (ACNS) established the standardized critical care EEG terminology since 2012 and has recently published the revised 2021 version of EEG terminology. This review covers new concepts of 2021 ACNS EEG terminology and clinical considerations of various EEG patterns.
