What Is an Electroencephalography?
In electroencephalography, electrodes are used to detect electrical activity in the brain. The electrical activity detected by the electrodes is recorded and converted into a format that can be examined by a doctor. The most common use of an electroencephalogram (EEG) is to diagnose epilepsy. Electroencephalography can also be used to evaluate brain injuries, diagnose coma states and determine whether a person who has suffered serious brain trauma and is suspected of being brain dead has any chance of recovery.
