EEG

An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test to detect problems in the electrical activity of the brain.

Brain cells communicate by producing tiny electrical impulses. In an EEG, electrodes are placed on the scalp over multiple areas of the brain to detect and record patterns of electrical activity and check for abnormalities.
