EEG Electroencephalography

Electroencephalography (EEG) records the electrical activity in the brain. During an EEG various electrodes are placed on the patient's skin to record brain activity.

An EEG can be performed under different conditions: With the patient asleep or even subjected to stimulus such as a flashing light, or after breathing deeply to introduce metabolic changes that reveal an area of the brain with unusual brain activity.
