EEG
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A sleep EEG is performed to detect abnormal brain wave activity during the time that a patient is asleep. This test is used to identify the quality of a patient’s sleep cycle. A sleep-deprived EEG tests patients who have gone without sleep or caffeinated beverages for one night prior.

Detailed explanation-2: -EEG test can be used as an authentic indicator. The extracted signals from EEG allow us to monitor brain activities and diagnose sleep disorders such as insomnia, narcolepsy-cataplexy syndrome, obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome, circadian rhythm sleep disorders, and parasomnias.

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