Electroencephalography

Preferred Label : Electroencephalography;

NCIt related terms : EEG; electroencephalogram;

NCIt definition : The neurophysiologic exploration of the electrical activity of the brain by the application of electrodes to the scalp. The resulting traces are known as an electroencephalogram (EEG). This test is used to assess brain damage, epilepsy and other problems.;

Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A recording of electrical activity in the brain. It is made by placing electrodes on the scalp (the skin covering the top of the head), and impulses are sent to a special machine. An EEG may be used to diagnose brain and sleep disorders.; CDISC: A technique used to capture and record spontaneous electrical activity of the brain by the application of electrodes to the scalp.;
