Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
These tests do not require sensors on the scalp, they requre sensors on other parts of the skin, e.g. limbs
A
Electroencephalogram and Electromyogram (EEG and EMG)
B
Nerve conduction velocity and Electromyogram (NCS and EMG)
C
Evoked potentials and Nerve conduction studies (EP and NCS)
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -EMG will show damage in muscles innervated by damaged motor axons. EMG will not detect injuries to purely sensory nerves, and NCS may not detect subtle partial injuries, injuries to nerve branches that are not recorded from, or injuries distal to the site of study.

Detailed explanation-2: -Test Overview An electromyogram (EMG) measures the electrical activity of muscles when they’re at rest and when they’re being used. Nerve conduction studies measure how well and how fast the nerves can send electrical signals. Nerves control the muscles in the body with electrical signals called impulses.
