Abstract
Brain works with electricity. EEG records the electrical activity of the neurons in the brain. The international 10–20 system is used for electrode placement. A bipolar montage method of electrode placement localizes abnormal brain discharges as phase reversal, while in a referential montage the amplitude of the waveforms localize epileptiform abnormalities. This chapter describes the EEG leads application methods, montages as well as filter and amplifier settings in a simple and easy to understand way.
