Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Scientists have developed a new system to identify people using their brain waves. What is it called
A
Brainpoint
B
Brainprint
C
Brainpower
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -With EEG, these brain waves are measured in terms of electrical activity over time and the relative dominance of different types of waves, e.g. alpha waves, can be identified.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The brain waves were recorded using magnetoencephalography (MEG) or electroencephalography (EEG), which non-invasively measure the magnetic or electric component of brain signals, according to Science News.

Detailed explanation-4: -Brain waves are patterns of electrical activity occurring in the brain. They are crucial to all aspects of brain functioning: thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
