A machine and technique for recording the electrical activity of the brain and converting it into a tracing. It is most commonly used in the diagnosis and management of epilepsy.
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a test that measures and records the electrical activity of your brain by using sensors (electrodes) attached to your head and connected by wires to a computer. The computer records your brain's electrical activity on the screen or on paper as wavy lines. Certain conditions, such as seizures can be detected by observing changes in the normal pattern of the brain's electrical activity.
a printout of the electrical activity in the brain.
Equipment or medical procedure that measures electricity in the brain.
abbr. electroencephalography
( lectro ncephalo raphy) is a test which records the patterns of electricity from the brain.
electroencephalography, measurement of electrical activity of the brain.
Electroencephalography, examination of the electrical activity of the brain.
A machine for measuring the electrical activity of the brain. Depending on level of alertness, the brain emits characteristic waveforms. Where there is damage to brain tissue there may be associated abnormalities on the EEG. There are also abnormal patterns characteristic of epilepsy.
A recording of electrical activity in the brain. An EEG is done with a galvanometer connected to electrodes attached to the skull. The EEG is useful in detecting brain damage and in diagnosing seizure and sleep disorders.
A scientific method of recording and measuring variations of electrical activity in the cerebral cortex and lobes of the human brain.
shows certain disturbances of brain functions, irregularities of rhythm, the presence of seizure-like activity and the effects of drugs or other metabolic disturbances on the nervous system.
A noninvasive and painless study, in which electrodes placed on the scalp record the electrical activity of the brain. May be used to diagnose seizures.
a print-out of the electrical activity in the brain
a graphical record of electrical activity of the brain; produced by an electroencephalograph
Electroencephalography is a test used to detect and record the electrical activity generated by the brain.
Amplification and recording of the electrical activities of the brain. This test can be helpful in ruling out epilepsy or localizing lesions in the cerebrum.
Electroencephalography, the recording of brain waves by means of electrodes attached to the skull.
A recording of electrical brain activity by electrodes placed on the scalp.
An EEG is typically part of the evaluation of a young child referred for seizures. It provides a record of electrical activity in the brain.
lectro ncephalo ram - A diagnostic test which measures the electrical activity of the brain (brain waves) using highly sensitive recording equipment attached to the scalp by fine electrodes.
A test used to measure the electrical activity in the brain.
Electroencephalography. EEG refers to the continuous recording of brain electrical activity. This can be recorded onto a paper chart or, more commonly these days, digitised into a computer for freqency analysis. The continuous EEG is made up of waves of different frequencies which each relate to different aspects of mental life. http://www2.psy.mq.edu.au/~tbates/imaging_techniques/EEG/EEG.html
By affixing metal electrodes to the scalp using harmless paste, we can record brain activity while a person is awake or asleep. The patterns of activity in the brain may reveal important information about seizures, headaches, or general neurologic dysfunction.
Electroencephalogram- electrical potentials recorded by placing electrodes on the scalp or in the brain.
Electroencephalogram: This is a procedure for measuring the brain's electrical activity. It involves simply sticking wires to the scalp and recording the natural activity of the brain.
(electroencephalography) The diagnostic test that is used to study the brain wave activity. It is most useful to evaluate the seizure disorders.
see electroencephalography.
Electroencephalogram. A test that measures electrical impulses in the brain.
Electro encephalo gram, a test of the electrical function of the brain. Can be used to subdivide or "stage" the level of sleep into wake, light (stage 1) moderate (stage 2), deep sleep (slow wave or stages 3 and 4) or dreaming (REM) sleep.
apparatus that records, in the form of brain waves, electrical discharge from neurons in the brain through electrodes attached to the scalp.
An evaluation of electrical activity of the brain.
The EEG (electroencephalogram) is a recording of the natural electrical activity of the brain. It involves placing small recording electrodes on the scalp and is completely painless and harmless. The analysis of the EEG can be very helpful in diagnosing various neurological diseases including epilepsy and CJD.
Electroencephalogram, electric waves from the brain. The EEG is recorded by surface electrodes from the scalp. It exhibits characteristic modulations during sleep.
Electroencephalogram, e technique for studying the electrical current within the brain. Electrodes are attached to the scalp. Wires attach these electrodes to a machine which records the electrical impulses. The results are either printed out or displayed on a computer screen. Electroencephalogram is abbreviated EEG.

ElectroEncephaloGram; used in brain wave measurements.
(electroencephalogram): A medical test that traces the electrical impulses of the brain.
Electroencephalogram. The trace of electrical activity in the brain. In patients with CJD this can, but doesn't always, show characteristic signs.
See Electroencephalogram.
The recording of electrical impulses of the brain.
Electroencephalogram. Record of brain electrical activity, usually obtained from electrodes located on the surface of the skull.
electroencephalogram - the electrical activity of the brain as measured from the scalp using high gain amplifiers.
A procedure that uses electrodes on the scalp to record the electrical activity of the brain. Used for detection of epilepsy, coma and brain death.
A test that shows the electrical activity of the brain.
Electroencephalogram, a diagnostic test used to measure the brain's electrical activity
(Electroencephalogram) - Test done to measure brain wave pattern or to look for seizures.
electroencephalogram; a test that shows activity in the brain by tracing the brain waves. From the Latin and Greek words "electro" ("elektor")meaning "beaming sun," "encephal" meaning "brain" or "head," and "gram" meaning "written."
(electroencephalogram)-- the brain's electrical output as measured on the scalp.
Electroencephalogram. Records the electrical activity of the brain.
a diagnostic procedure where special pieces of material are placed on the scalp or fine needles placed in the brain to record electrical activity in the brain.
This stands for electroencephalogram and tracks the electrical impulses in the brain.
A tracing of the electrical activity of the brain by means of an electroencephalograph connected to the sensors placed on the scalp. In this way, certain conditions such as epilepsy, brain tumours and other diseases or injuries to the brain can be diagnosed.
Taking a record of brain waves ( Ch. 26).
EEG stands for electroencephalogram. It is a painless test that records the electrical messages from the brain.
This measurement is used to monitor the electrical impulses created by the human brain.
