An Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) is an inpatient unit at a hospital that is specifically designed for patients with seizures. Patients are typically admitted to an EMU to undergo tests to characterize their ongoing spells and to guide individual treatment decisions. Many patients undergo video-EEG monitoring while in the EMU, which allows doctors to record your brain waves before, during and after a seizure with the EEG.  A video-EEG also makes a video recording of your behavior to make interpretation of the EEG more accurate. You will likely undergo other diagnostic tests as well, including a MRI, routine EEG, neuropsychological testing, and SPECT scans. Your care team will be able to explain in more detail what you can expect during your admission.
