: Discernible waveforms are generated by measuring the voltage difference between two electrode sites using a differential amplifier.
: Electrodes are typically placed according to the International 10-20 system, with "montages" used to compare signals across different brain regions (e.g., frontal, temporal, parietal).

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that records the brain's spontaneous electrical activity through electrodes placed on the scalp. This activity is generated by the synchronous firing of neurons, specifically the summation of postsynaptic potentials. : Discernible waveforms are generated by measuring the
