The results are either printed out or displayed on a computer screen. Different patterns of electrical impulses can denote various forms of epilepsy.
MedicalElectroencephalography (EEG) is an electrophysiological monitoring method to record electrical activity of the brain. It is typically noninvasive, with the electrodes placed along the scalp, although invasive electrodes are sometimes used in specific applications. EEG measures voltage fluctuations resulting from ionic current within the neurons of the brain.
