If your MRI is normal that only means you didn't have any seizure activity when you had the MRI

@belinda5000 --- it might also indicate that the person has "PNES"--seizure like, but isn't treated with seizure meds. https://ym.care/qjs

Hi @belinda5000,
Just a small thought — did you perhaps mean an EEG rather than an MRI? An MRI gives us a picture of the brain's structure, while it's the EEG that captures electrical activity and can detect seizure patterns.
