Abstract
Currently, in clinical practice, electroencephalography (EEG) is used in several different types of studies, such as routine EEG examinations, video-EEG monitoring, EEG in intensive care units, etc. Each of these techniques requires appropriate preparation and organization of the room, specialized furniture, personnel training, and the availability of accessories and consumables. Here, some practical recommendations are provided for organizing a place for conducting routine EEG examinations, that may be useful while designing a new or reorganizing an existing EEG room.
