Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A challenge test is usually conducted by intravenously administering a chemical known to produce a specific set of psychiatric symptoms. The application of electrodes for monitoring and the evaluation of electrical impulses recorded on graph paper are involved with electroencephalography (EEG). Using a flashing strobe light may be used to gather additional information when EEG is done.
