Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The technique being utilized is Electroencephalography (EEG), which involves affixing small disk-shaped metal plates to the scalp to obtain a recording of brain waves. EEG is commonly used to diagnose epilepsy, as well as other neurological conditions. MRI, PET scans and CT scans are imaging techniques that provide detailed images of the brain's structures, but do not directly measure brain activity like EEG does.
