This type of imaging can help doctors study sleep cycles.
A
MRI
B
PET
C
CT Scan
D
EEG
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A sleep study may also be called polysomnogram. The basic recordings done during a sleep study may include: Electroencephalography (EEG) . This measures brain wave activity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most research on sleep is conducted using electroencephalography (EEG), a method that entails measuring brain activity through electrodes placed along a patient’s scalp.

Detailed explanation-3: -Electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are key neuroimaging techniques used to explore the mechanisms of sleep disorders.

Detailed explanation-4: -Using simultaneous functional MRI (fMRI) and electroencephalography, we find that the oscillations of brain hemodynamic activity provide signatures of sleep at a local neuronal population level.
