Electroencephalogram

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a method for studying the electrical activity of the brain, which allows you to record bioelectric potentials resulting from the work of neurons. EEG is one of the most common methods for diagnosing brain disorders and is used in neurology, psychiatry, neurophysiology and other areas of medicine.

To conduct an EEG, special electrodes are used, which are applied to the patient’s scalp and connected to an electroencephalograph. During the procedure, the patient is at rest or performs certain tasks that help identify different types of electrical activity in the brain.

One of the main advantages of EEG is its non-invasiveness and safety for the patient. The electrodes do not penetrate the brain and do not cause any damage or injury. In addition, the procedure can be performed multiple times without risk to the patient's health.

EEG results can be used to diagnose various brain diseases such as epilepsy, depression, schizophrenia and other mental disorders. EEG can also help in assessing the effectiveness of treatment and monitoring the patient's condition during treatment.

In general, electroencephalography is an important method for studying the electrical activity of the brain and has wide applications in medicine and science.
