Research Notes on EEG
An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a test that measures and records the electrical activity of the brain. An EEG is used in the evaluation of brain disorders and to evaluate people who are having problems associated with brain function.
Fast Facts:
- Brain cells communicate via tiny electrical impulses; these are what an EEG measures.
- An EEG is used to help diagnose seizures and to evaluate head injuries, tumors, infections, and degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
- Also used to find causes of confusion or sleep disorders.
- Can be used to determine if a coma patient is brain dead.
