In what state(s) are spindles seen?

Name the following pattern. What prognosis does this pattern hold? -Diffuse, non reactive, anterior max alpha

Name the following pattern. What prognosis does this pattern hold? -Prominent, non-reactive, continuous spindle-like activity.

Name indications of drowsiness on the EEG.

What does POSTS stand for? What does this pattern indicate? At what age is it seen?

What are some normal variants that mimic epileptiform activity?

Name the following pattern. What condition(s) may this pattern be associated with? What prognosis does this pattern hold? -generalized sharp or tripasic discharges that are seen periodically @1-2 times per second

Name the following pattern. What condition(s) may be associated with this pattern. What prognosis does this pattern hold? -very high amplitude polyphasic mixed sharp and complexes. Complexes are stereotyped and periodic, occuring every 8 seconds. Myoclonic jerks are associated with the bursts. Underlying background is of normal amplitude, moderately abnormal.
