Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
These tests require sensors on the scalp
A
Electroencephalogram and Evoked Potentials test (EEG and EP)
B
Electromyogram and Evoked potentials test (EMG and EP)
C
Electromyogram and Nerve conduction studies (EMG and NCS)
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This test can diagnose hearing ability and can point to possible brainstem tumors or multiple sclerosis. A healthcare professional places electrodes on your scalp and earlobes and delivers auditory stimuli, such as clicking noises and tones, to one ear.

Detailed explanation-2: -The difference is that an EEG measures and records your brain’s electrical signals as they naturally happen. Evoked potential tests measure how quickly your nerves respond to certain stimulation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Electroencephalography (EEG) is a non-invasive and relatively inexpensive method for assessing neurophysiological function that can be used to achieve this goal. EEG measures the electrical activity of large, synchronously firing populations of neurons in the brain with electrodes placed on the scalp.
