EEG (Electroencephalography)
EEG (Electroencephalography)
EEG (Electroencephalography) is a non-invasive neurophysiological diagnostic test used to record the electrical activity of the brain. It measures brain wave patterns through electrodes placed on the scalp and is widely used in the diagnosis and monitoring of epilepsy, seizures, sleep disorders, and various neurological conditions.
