ArtifactsArtifacts are pen deflections not
caused by cerebral activity.They may be due to 1)physiological activity originating
from the patient2) Interference from power lines or
other electrical sources3)Malfunction of the recording system
which includes recording electrodes, amplifiers, pen motors & paper drive.

EPILEPTIFORM TRANSIENTS
SPIKES
SHARP WAVES
SLOW SHARP WAVES – not always epileptiform
![Page 9: Artifacts & Normal variants in EEG](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042503/58f1633d1a28abc5338b45ef/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Blinking & other eye movements These are picked up by frontal
electrodes Vertical eye movements cause
potentials in electrode pairs in paramedical positions-Fp1-F3, Fp2-f4 etc
Lateral eye movements Deflections in transverse chains=Fp1-F7, Fp2-F8, F7-F3
F8-F4 etc
![Page 10: Artifacts & Normal variants in EEG](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042503/58f1633d1a28abc5338b45ef/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Blinking or eye closure causes large down going deflections,
Eye opening produces upward deflections.

EYE OPENING
![Page 14: Artifacts & Normal variants in EEG](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042503/58f1633d1a28abc5338b45ef/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
EYE CLOSURE
![Page 15: Artifacts & Normal variants in EEG](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042503/58f1633d1a28abc5338b45ef/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Lateral eye movements Lateral eye movements may be
preceded by a single sharp muscle potential which may resemble a cerebral spike & in combination with eye movements form a spike & wave artifact
![Page 16: Artifacts & Normal variants in EEG](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042503/58f1633d1a28abc5338b45ef/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
LATERAL EYE MOVEMENTS
![Page 17: Artifacts & Normal variants in EEG](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042503/58f1633d1a28abc5338b45ef/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Eye movement artifacts Eye movement artifacts can be
identified by their frontal distribution, their symmetry on the 2 sides & their characteristic shape.
![Page 18: Artifacts & Normal variants in EEG](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042503/58f1633d1a28abc5338b45ef/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Slow repetitive rhythmic eye movements may closely resemble B/L synchronous frontal slow waves like FIRDA
They are stopped by asking the patient to place his fingertip on the eyes,tapping cotton balls over the eyes etc
![Page 19: Artifacts & Normal variants in EEG](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042503/58f1633d1a28abc5338b45ef/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Muscle artifacts Muscle activity causes very brief
potentials which usually recur. If they recur they resemble cerebral
discharges except that most cerebral spikes are of much longer duration than muscle potentials.
Moreover epileptiform activity usually has a aftercoming slow wave associated with a spike.
![Page 20: Artifacts & Normal variants in EEG](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042503/58f1633d1a28abc5338b45ef/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
MUSCLE ARTIFACT
![Page 21: Artifacts & Normal variants in EEG](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042503/58f1633d1a28abc5338b45ef/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
![Page 22: Artifacts & Normal variants in EEG](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042503/58f1633d1a28abc5338b45ef/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
MUSCLE ARTIFACT They are usually recorded predominantly
from frontal/ temporal electrodes but can occur in any electrodes
They can be eliminated by asking the patient to relax, drop the jaw or open the mouth slightly/change position.
Repetititive movements such as chewing, blinking & tremor may give rise to fast & slow artifacts which resemble cerebral discharges
![Page 23: Artifacts & Normal variants in EEG](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042503/58f1633d1a28abc5338b45ef/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Movement artifacts Movement of head /body or other rhythmic
movements such as chewing & sucking can lead to irregular high amplitude wave forms which can be easily recognized.
They do not have consistency & characteristics of cerebral discharges
They can occur in instances such as restless/ confused patients,infants & children , patients having seizures,tremors/other movt disorders
![Page 24: Artifacts & Normal variants in EEG](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042503/58f1633d1a28abc5338b45ef/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
![Page 25: Artifacts & Normal variants in EEG](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042503/58f1633d1a28abc5338b45ef/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Heart beat artifacts Mainly in recording with wide
interelectrode distances& in subjects with short necks.
Small artifacts reflect mainly the Rwave of ECG. Large artifacts may reflect additional components of ecg
![Page 27: Artifacts & Normal variants in EEG](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042503/58f1633d1a28abc5338b45ef/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Heart beat artifacts If necessary heart beat can be
eliminated by using a balanced noncephalic reference.
They can be identified by the equal intervals & rate corresponding to heart rate.
Simultaneous recording of ecg can be done in doubtful cases
![Page 30: Artifacts & Normal variants in EEG](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042503/58f1633d1a28abc5338b45ef/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Pulse wave artifact Periodic waves of smooth
/triangular shape may be picked up by electrode on or near a scalp artery
.More likely to occur in frontal/temporal areas. It can be eliminated by reapplying electrode
![Page 31: Artifacts & Normal variants in EEG](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042503/58f1633d1a28abc5338b45ef/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Perspiration artifact Sweating causes very slow drifting
of electrodes lasting several seconds .
Usually common in frontal/temporal electrodes & occurs in several channels at the same time
![Page 32: Artifacts & Normal variants in EEG](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042503/58f1633d1a28abc5338b45ef/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Glossokinetic & oropharyngeal artifacts. They produce intermittent
/repetitive slow waves in a wide distribuition often with a maximum in the middle of the head
They occur in speaking, chewing, swallowing ,sucking,coughing,hiccoughs.
![Page 33: Artifacts & Normal variants in EEG](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042503/58f1633d1a28abc5338b45ef/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Artifacts from Equipment
They are distinguished in that They differ radically from
previously recorded activity, Do not blend with other recorded
activity but seem to be superimposed on it &
Appear only in channels connected to the faulty electrode.
