(En español: EEG (Electroencefalograma)) Doctors use
electroencephalograms to figure out what's going on in your
brain. A special machine measures your brain waves to create an
electroencephalogram. No matter what you're doing (even
sleeping), your brain gives off electric waves. An
electroencephalogram machine measures these electric waves and
shows where and how big they are. Pretty neat, huh? Some kids
have a lot of extra electricity flowing inside their brain,
which can cause things called seizures. An electroencephalogram
does not hurt and it can help doctors decide how to treat these
kids.
