Electroencephalogram (Eeg)

An electroencephalogram (EEG), also known as electroencephalography, is a diagnostic technique that is used to measure the electrical activity of the brain. These measurements are made using electrodes that are placed on the patient's scalp.

EEG is one of the most common methods for diagnosing nervous disorders and brain diseases, such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, neurological disorders and others.

The EEG procedure usually takes about 30-60 minutes and is performed in a special room that protects from external electromagnetic interference. The patient has electrodes placed on the scalp and asked to remain calm during the session.

When the brain generates electrical impulses, they are recorded by electrodes and transmitted to an EEG machine, which analyzes them and records them on paper or computer media. The result is a graphical representation of the brain's electrical activity that can be interpreted by a physician.

EEG is a painless and non-invasive procedure, and the patient does not require special preparation. However, to obtain the most accurate results, the patient must comply with certain conditions before undergoing the procedure. For example, you should avoid drinking caffeine-containing drinks and medications that affect brain function.

Overall, EEG is an important tool for diagnosing neurological and brain disorders, and can be used in combination with other diagnostic methods to improve diagnostic accuracy. If you suspect you may have a nerve disorder, contact your doctor to learn more about the EEG procedure and other diagnostic methods.

**Electroencephalographic recording** is a method of recording electrical potentials arising on the surface of the head as a result of the bioelectrical activity of the brain. Allows you to record from the surface of the skull electrical potentials that arise during brain function
