Medical EEG (Electroencephalogram) machines are advanced diagnostic devices used to measure and record the electrical activity of the brain. They are essential tools in neurology for diagnosing conditions such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, brain tumors, and other neurological abnormalities. These machines typically involve placing electrodes on a patient’s scalp to detect neural signals, which are then amplified, recorded, and analyzed by specialized software.
