Electroencephalography or EEG is a neurodiagnostic medical test that monitors and records the electrical activity in the brain. By placing electrodes on the scalp, EEG detects post-synaptic potentials of pyramidal neural cell assemblies within the cerebral cortex. These results are recorded and can be interpreted to evaluate the state of the patient's brain and diagnose problems related to neurology such as seizures and epilepsy.
