EEG.

Electroencephalography (EEG) is the measurement of electrical activity produced by the brain as recorded from electrodes placed on the scalp.

Just as the activity in a computer can be perceived on multiple different levels, from the activity of individual transistors to the function of applications, so can the electrical activity of the brain be described on relatively small to relatively large scales. At one end are action potentials in a single axon or currents within a single dendrite, and at the other end is the activity measured by the scalp EEG.




i had my EEG on thursday. the closest ill ever get to matrix. haha. they attached electrodes to your scalp. banyak lah. first of all, kana sukat kepala and the aunty ; who happens to be mom's ex-classmate and leenuh's mom - marked my head. this wasnt painful. but then masa aunty bagi the EEG gel, sakit! haha. kana kikis wah kepala ah. =P


EEG gel.



Electrodes.





The test consists of closing your eyes and relaxing, and then i was told to look forward. this was repeated a few times before over-breathing for 3 mins. gila, karing wah mulut. inda lagi buleh talan air liur tu. ahaha. aunty knows from the results if my eyes were moving and all that. x) upon finishing that, this strobe were place infront of my eyes and kana suruh buka mata. it was VERY bright and ada different patterns of blinks. was told that ada orang failed this test and inda kana hantar belayar. takut sudah, sekali aunty cakap "kau punya ani normal banar ni, jgntah ingau". xD so i passed my EEG.
