Which scan would give us a view of the brain waves occurring during sleep?
A
EEG
B
MRI
C
PET
D
CAT
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a recording of brain activity. During this painless test, small sensors are attached to the scalp to pick up the electrical signals produced by the brain. These signals are recorded by a machine and are looked at by a doctor.

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: -An EEG is a test that detects abnormalities in your brain waves, or in the electrical activity of your brain. During the procedure, electrodes consisting of small metal discs with thin wires are pasted onto your scalp. The electrodes detect tiny electrical charges that result from the activity of your brain cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -The EEG machine records the impulses with lines (traces) that show brain wave patterns. The brain has specific wave patterns when you’re awake and asleep. If you have a seizure, the wave patterns change.

Detailed explanation-5: -EEG stands for electroencephalogram. A sleep EEG is a recording of the electrical activity of the brain while you are awake and then asleep. It involves having small discs (electrodes) which record the activity attached to your scalp using paste.
