Canine electroencephalographic recording technique: findings in normal and epileptic dogs.

Objective: The absence of a standardized recording technique and of normal reference patterns may have hindered the use of experimental electroencephalography (EEG) in dogs and in veterinary medicine as well. Therefore, the aim of the present work was to develop a recording technique for brachycephalic, mesocephalic and dolichocephalic breeds of dogs that would standardize the recording parameters, including the electrical activity of the rhinencephalon and prorean gyrus, and to prove its feasibility for detecting abnormal activity.

Methods: We accomplished this task by employing 12 recording electrodes.
