| Status | Exists in IEEE, Rosetta, and SNOMED |
| Category | Brain Electrical Activity |
| Common Name | Electroencephalography |
| Label | EEG |
| Description | Electrophysiological monitoring method used to record electrical activity of the brain by measuring voltage fluctuations within neurons |
| Background | Electroencephalography has been used in some form since the late 1800s. It has since developed into one of the main diagnostic tests for epilepsy. In neurocritical care it is typically used to detect seizures, both visible and non-visible |
