Abstract
The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a graphic display of the spontaneous electrical activity of the cerebral cortex. The EEG represents the output of a differential amplifier whose inputs are two distinct recording locations from the scalp (Fig. 10.1). Continuous EEG recordings are used clinically to diagnosis brain pathology, specifically seizures. Intraoperatively, EEG is used to monitor cerebral perfusion and depth of anesthesia. Cortical SSEPs, discussed in another chapter, are brief averaged EEG epochs recorded following peripheral stimulation.
