EEG (Electroencephalogram)

• Measure electrical activity inside of the brain using electrodes which are attached using a skull cap
• Records brainwave patterns generated from millions of neurons – this provides and overall account of brain activity
• Often used by doctors to identify any unusual (arrhythmic) patterns of activity
• May indicate neurological conditions such as: epilepsy, tumours, or disorders of sleep
• Electrodes = An electrical conductor which makes contact with a non-metallic conductor
• Arrhythmic patterns = No particular rhythm
