EEG
An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a test that measures the electrical activity of the brain. It is a non-invasive, painless procedure that involves placing small electrodes on the scalp to detect the brain's electrical signals. It an important diagnostic test in people suspected to have had a seizure, and often aids in the diagnosis of epilepsy.
