Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An EEG (electroencephalogram) is a test that records the electrical activity of the brain through electrodes placed on the scalp. TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) is a therapy used for pain relief, EP (evoked potential) refers to electrical signals in response to stimulus, and nerve conduction tests measure the speed and intensity of electrical signals along nerves. None of these accurately describe a record of the electrical activity of the brain.
