title: The relevance of EEG artifact identification: a case of "delta-wave blinking" due to tardive dyskinesia.
abstract: The presence of rhythmic electroencephalographic artifacts may at times be confused with actual brain-related activity even before electroconvulsive therapy. Here, we present a case of rapid persistent blinking due to tardive dyskinesia, causing rhythmic deltalike artifacts on the electroencephalographic monitor.
