What is EEG?
EEG, or electroencephalography, is a method used to non-invasively observe human brain activity. An EEG is a recording of the brain waves, or the electrical signals naturally produced by the brain. This is done by placing electrodes on your child’s scalp. The electrodes send the signals to a computer that reflect the brain’s activity. The procedure is painless, and there are no risks to your child. The assessment will be conducted as part of the Emotion and the Brain project during which your child will play a fun computer game. The session has a space theme in which the children are astronauts and the room your child will be in is decorated like a spaceship.
