"Driving Response?"
Sun, 08/26/2007 - 00:23Hi all.
There is a phrase I would like the definition of. It is "driving response". It is found in my EEG report and is in the section relating to the strobe light part of the EEG. I know that this part of the test is to determine if flashing lights are a seizure trigger. I just can't figure out what driving response means. Thanks. tlh64

Hi There, How exactly is it worded in your report? Mine came back as "photic driving" as in "during the photic stimulation there was photic driving in both hemispheres" meaning that the lights were actually stimulating the brain in a negative way. I would asume that "driving reponse" is used to determine how your brain responds to the photic stimulation. Good luck:) Elizabeth
