EEG(Electroencephalogram) tests that detect the variation in brain waves, or in electrical activity. During the procedure electrodes consisting of a small circular disc with wires on them is pasted on your head.
Electrodes detect the tiny variation of the electrical signal from brain cells. These signals are amplified and recorded on paper which is later interpreted by a healthcare specialist.
