EEG (Electroencephalogram)

Definition

An Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a diagnostic tool that records electrical activity in the brain using electrodes placed on the scalp. It is primarily used to monitor brain function and diagnose neurological conditions such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, brain injuries, and other abnormalities in brain activity.

Relevance to the MedTech Industry

EEG devices are critical for understanding brain activity and diagnosing neurological conditions. They enable clinicians to assess real-time brain function, monitor long-term conditions, and provide valuable insights for research and treatment development in neuroscience.
