An electroencephalogram or the EEG is dignostic tool to evaluate the electrical activity of the brain by recording the brain wave patterns like alpha, beta, gamma and delta waves of brain. Its an invasive technique and very effective in the diagnosis/ assessment of the epilepsy, sleep problems, head injury and brain tumours. It can be also used to study the anasthetic mechanism also in the study of comma patterns.
