10 Questions
How many electrodes are typically placed around the brain for an EEG measurement?
Up to 32 electrodes are placed around the brain.
What is the purpose of an EEG measurement?
An EEG measurement is used to indirectly measure the electrical activity of the brain.
What is the typical peak-to-peak amplitude of the recorded voltages in an EEG measurement?
The peak-to-peak amplitudes are less than 100 microvolts.
What do EEG electrodes transduce in the brain?
EEG electrodes transduce the internal ionic currents conducted through the brain into potential differences that can be measured on the skin surface.
What is the frequency content range of the signals recorded in an EEG measurement?
The frequency content ranges from zero to ~50 Hz.
What is the purpose of placing up to 32 electrodes around the brain in an EEG measurement?
To measure indirectly the electrical activity of the brain
Why are the recorded voltages in an EEG much smaller than those produced in an ECG?
The signals are stochastic and have peak-to-peak amplitudes less than 100 microvolts
What do EEG electrodes transduce in the brain?
Ionic currents conducted through the brain
Why does the EEG signal appear similar to random noise at first sight?
The signals are stochastic and do not repeat themselves as a function of time
What is the range of frequency content of the signals recorded in an EEG measurement?
Zero to ~50 Hz
