This test is used to evaluate the electrical activity in the brain. It tracks and records brain wave patterns.
A
EEG
B
PET
C
fMRI
D
None of the above
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: -The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a medical test used to measure the electrical activity of the brain. A number of electrodes are applied to your scalp. EEG can help diagnose a number of conditions including epilepsy, sleep disorders and brain tumours.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most commonly, healthcare providers use an EEG to check for seizure activity related to epilepsy. EEGs can also help monitor health conditions or find out what’s causing certain symptoms. Healthcare providers may use an EEG during brain surgery or to test the brain activity of someone in a coma.

Detailed explanation-4: -Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a non-invasive brain imaging technique that uses scalp electrodes to measure the voltage fluctuations induced by the mass electrical activity of neurons (1). Electromyography (EMG) technique is usually used to record the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles (2).
