AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a recording of brain activity. During this painless test, small sensors are attached to the scalp to pick up the electrical signals produced by the brain. These signals are recorded by a machine and are looked at by a doctor.

Detailed explanation-2: -EEG machines-which include portable EEG machines, ambulatory EEG machines and EEG neurofeedback machines or EEG biofeedback machines-are monitoring devices used for EEG recordings. EEG stands for electroencephalography, the non-invasive method of monitoring the brain’s electrical signals.

Detailed explanation-3: -Recording the EEG during drowsiness and sleep can be useful to identify brain activity which may not be present while your child is awake. It can be carried out on patients of all ages and abilities, making it a good way to get an overall view of the function of the brain.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Like standard EEGs, this non-invasive test records the electrical activity of the brain and can pick up on abnormal brain waves through electrodes attached to the scalp. When you fall asleep or doze during the test, the machine will continue to record activity in your brain.
