What is EEGEEG noninvasively records the continuous electrical activity in the brain using surface electrodes placed over the scalp.

Brain waves are the undulations in the recorded electrical potentials withBrain waves are the undulations in the recorded electrical potentials, with mixed and variable frequency.

Brain waves recorded from the surface of the scalp range from 0 - 200mV, p g ,and their frequencies range from once every few sec. to 50 or more / sec.

The character of the waves (intensity and patterns) is dependent on the degree of activity in respective parts of the cerebral cortex and the wavesdegree of activity in respective parts of the cerebral cortex, and the waves change markedly between the states of wakefulness, sleep, epilepsy and coma.

Much of the time, the brain waves are irregular, and no specific pattern can be discerned in the EEG. At other times, distinct patterns do appear, some of which are characteristic of specific abnormalities of the brain such as epilepsy. p p y

Brain electrical activity can be measured also on the surface of the cortex or dura Brain electrical activity can be measured also on the surface of the cortex or dura mater (electrocorticogram) or in the depth of cerebral matter (electrogram)mater (electrocorticogram) or in the depth of cerebral matter (electrogram)

First human EEG - Hans Berger

The first human EEG recording obtained by Hans Berger in 1924. The upper tracing is EEG, and the lower is a 10 Hz timing signal.

Berger was the first to describe the different waves or rhythms which were present in the normal andor rhythms which were present in the normal and abnormal brain, such as the alpha wave rhythm (8–12 Hz), also known as "Berger's wave"; and its suppression (substitution by the faster beta waves) pp ( y )when the subject opens the eyes (the so-called alpha blockade). He also studied and described for the first time the nature of EEG alterations in brain diseases such as epilepsy.
