What technological tool would be best to measure electrical brain activity during sleep?
A
PET Scan
B
CT Scan
C
MRI
D
EEG
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures electrical activity in the brain using small, metal discs (electrodes) attached to the scalp. Brain cells communicate via electrical impulses and are active all the time, even during asleep.

Detailed explanation-2: -Introduction. Sleep stage classification is largely based on electroencephalogram (EEG) frequency band analysis, supplemented by detection of eye movements electrooculogram (EOG) and submental EMG.

Detailed explanation-3: -A sleep EEG is a recording of the electrical activity of the brain while you are awake and then asleep. It involves having small discs (electrodes) which record the activity attached to your scalp using paste.

Detailed explanation-4: -Electroencephalography (EEG) Whereas fMRI records blood flow, a proxy of neuron activation, EEG directly records the brain’s electrical activity via electrodes placed on the scalp of the subject.
