Electroencephalographs have become an important medical study for the diagnosis of seizure disorders and epilepsy
Electroencephalography is the process of monitoring a person's brain activity by using two different methods, one with an EEG device and one without. The information from the EEG (electroencephalographs) can be recorded and shown on a computer screen for the patient to see. The brain wave patterns are shown as colors or images on the screen and these are a recording of the electrical impulses of the brain. This technology has been around for decades, but it was not until recently that the quality of the images and the details captured on the screen have improved to the point where they can be used in research settings. The main areas of application are in health care and rehabilitation settings, but they can also be used for forensic science. The EEG stands for electroencephalography. It uses a probe, called a probe that records the brainwaves of the patient while they are at rest. These brainwaves are picked up by the EEG device and then shown on a monitor so that the doctor c...
