Electroencephalography (EEG)

Electroencephalography (EEG)

EEG is a method of measuring the brain's electrical activity using electrodes attached to the scalp.

Details

EEG is a non-invasive test that records the brain's electrical activity by placing electrodes on the scalp.

Various brainwaves — such as alpha, beta, theta, and delta waves — are each associated with different states of consciousness.

It is widely used in sleep research, epilepsy diagnosis, and studies on the effects of meditation.

Because it allows real-time observation of brain activity, it is also used in neurofeedback therapy.

As a relatively simple and safe testing method, Mindy can help you understand how EEG is used to assess the health of your brain.

💡 Real-Life Example

In sleep research or studies on the effects of meditation, EEG is used to observe changes in brainwave patterns.
