BASICS OF EEG AND FUNDAMENTALS OF
ITS MEASUREMENT
Timeline of EEG invention
1875
 Richard Caton - Presence of continuous and
spontaneous electrical activity from the brain surface
of rabbits and monkeys
1890
 Adolf Beck  Sensory stimulus can induce spontaneous
and rhythmic oscillation
1912
 Vladimir Pravdich Neminsky  Produced first animal
EEG and evoked potential of mammalian dog
1924
 Hans Berger - Recorded the first human EEG

Amplifier
 All EEG amplifiers are differential amplifiers.
 Differential amplifier takes two input
voltages and produces an output that is an
amplified version of the difference between
the two inputs
 Advantage  Cancels out the external noise
Rules of Polarity on EEG
 If input 1 is negative with respect to input 2, there is an
upward deflection
 If input 1 is positive with respect to input 2, there is a
downward deflection
 An upward deflection is surface negative, and a
downward deflection is surface positive
 When there is no deflection, the inputs are equipotential
and are either equally active or inactive
Equipotential
Polarity Convention - Example
Montage
Logical and orderly arrangement of channels/electrode pairs on the display
 Bipolar Montage
 Common electrode reference montage
 Average reference montage
 Laplacian montage

pattern (Double Banana)

1 basics of eeg and fundamentals of its measurement
EEG Artifacts
 Artifacts are unwanted noise signals in an EEG record.
 Classification of artefacts is based on the source of generation:
Physiological artifacts and external artifacts.
 Physiologic artifacts:
 Any minor body movements
 EMG
 ECG
 Eye movements etc.
 Non Physiologic artifacts:
 Damage of electrodes
 Cable movements
 Broken wire contacts
 Impedance fluctuation
 60/50 H artifact etc
Figure: EEG Artifacts
Advantages & Applications of EEG
 Excellent temporal resolution
 EEG can determine the relative strengths and positions of electrical activity in different brain regions.
 EEG does not involve exposure to high intensity magnetic field
 Relatively cheap and simple to operate
 Applications of the EEG in humans and animals involve:
 Research
 Clinics
 Clinical application- EEG is one of the main diagnostic tests for epilepsy
Normal EEG compared to EEG including a seizure: (A) Normal EEG of 15 seconds; (B) EEG
of the same patient having an epileptic seizure visible on electrodes P8 and T8.
Clinical applications
 Monitor alertness, coma and brain death
 Locate areas of damage following head injury, stroke, tumor.
 Monitor cognitive engagement (alpha rhythm)
 Control anesthesia depth
 Investigate epilepsy and locate seizure origin
 Investigate sleep disorder and physiology.
 Etc.
