record of the electrical impulses of the brain; used to diagnose neurological conditions that affect brain function and level of consciousness
A
nerve conduction velocity (NCV)
B
electroencephalogram (EEG)
C
myelogram
D
positron emission tomography (PET)
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. This activity shows up as wavy lines on an EEG recording.

Detailed explanation-2: -Listen to pronunciation. (ee-LEK-troh-en-SEH-fuh-loh-gram) A recording of electrical activity in the brain. It is made by placing electrodes on the scalp (the skin covering the top of the head), and impulses are sent to a special machine.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Electroencephalography (EEG) The electrical activity recorded is a summation of the activity of a large number of neurons in the cerebral cortex immediately beneath the skull.

Detailed explanation-5: -An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a noninvasive test that records electrical patterns in your brain. The test is used to help diagnose conditions such as seizures, epilepsy, head injuries, dizziness, headaches, brain tumors and sleeping problems. It can also be used to confirm brain death.
