Electroencephalography (EEG) is a method for studying the bioelectrical activity of the brain, based on recording electrical potentials resulting from the work of neurons. EEG is widely used in medical practice to diagnose various diseases of the nervous system, such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, migraines, depression and others.
The principle of operation of an electroencephalograph is that special electrodes are placed on the surface of the patient’s head, which record electrical potentials arising in the brain as a result of its activity. This data is then transferred to a computer, where it is processed and analyzed using special programs.
EEG allows you to obtain information about the state of the brain in real time. This allows you to quickly and accurately determine the presence and nature of brain disorders, as well as evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment.
Currently, EEG is one of the most common methods of brain research. It is widely used in both clinical practice and research. EEG can be used to diagnose many diseases associated with brain disorders, such as stroke, tumors, injuries, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment.
