p.s sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
It measures electrical signals in your brain.
In other words, it can't peer into your soul and discover you smoke weed.
Or...can it?

please, i figure because it can read my brain waves, and if smoking alters them then they would be able to tell.
its really important for me to know, so if anyone has any knowledge on these things, or has some useful knowledge please respond and share your knowledge.
-Thank you

I have never heard of drug use being identified via an EEG test, honestly. We barely have enough neuroscience to be able to distinguish between different types of brain rhythms; and you expect the technicians to be able to determine that you've smoked weed at some point prior in your life via an EEG reading now?

no evidence/proof to verify this but sober brainwaves are sober brainwaves. if you were to be high during the test then I woudl take a guess that they could tell something is different. If you were to smoke while having the EEG done, then I would assume they would see something change.
I think you're fine.

If you're talking about extra energy accumulating in the head and having no place to go, IMO, it's gonna follow your expectation/acceptation.

As I recall, there was an 80's era anti-drug commercial which clearly showed a distinct difference between a "normal" 16 year old, and one high on marijuana. The high kids graph was flattened; much less activity. And since it was an anti-drug commercial, you can bet your balls they were telling the truth 
But seriously, if you went in there blitzed out of your gourd, they might be able to tell, but other than that I highly doubt they would notice any abnormality.

When you go from high beta to low alpha, I'm guessing that line gets flatter. The commercial lies in telling you that arbitrary laws make the feeling "wrong."
Will you be that high at the time of the test, or would you reproduce the feeling in your mind, in an act of involuntary biofeedback? If so, yes, it will show.
When we explore these mental states, new feelings do come up. But, I believe there are more constructive ways of describing them than writing it off to "braindamage."
Did the drug cause new sensations or reveal suppressed ones?
On the other hand, if you feel a burden in your heart telling you to get this thing, for better or for worse, you better take it.

An EEG shows the brain patterns in the current state of consciousness. Everyones are going to look alike, they change during different stages of sleep but weed wouldn't effect it.
But if you where awake and it was showing the brain waves for lets say stage 2 of the sleep cycle then you'd be a freak of nature.

yees, if you put an eeg in front of your eye you can see all kinds of shit when you look at people...kind of like an x-ray for truth.

I don't think there is a person that can backup their claim, in any case what would it matter if it could assuming you are 18 years of age the doctor-patient confidentiality would not allow them to talk about it.

I think the real question is...who would care?
I'd be like "Oh no, you caught me with my pants down! I don't have any weed, paraphernalia, or anything to incriminate me...but I guess you caught me?"

i've read weed will make your alpha waves a bit lower frequency before, but its not like the doctor will look at it and know you smoke.
