Correct Answer: EEG

The EEG may also be helpful in the interictal period by showing ceain abnormalities that are highly suppoive of the diagnosis of epilepsy. The EEG is also used for classifying seizure disorders and aiding in the selection of anticonvulsant medications. Ref Harrison20th edition pg 2456
