What is an EEG?
EEG stands for electroencephalogram. According to Mayo Clinic, it is a test that measures electrical activity in the brain.
The test uses small, metal discs called electrodes that attach to the scalp.
Brain cells communicate via electrical impulses, and this activity shows up as wavy lines on an EEG recording.
EEGs are commonly used to study sleep, epilepsy, brain health, and neurological conditions.
