Measuring Brain Waves with an EEG (Electroencephalogram)

This video shows the basic set up of an EEG, what the trace from an EEG looks like and what the waves mean. The tests were carried out by Trainee Clinical Neurophysiologists.

There are more videos like this in the Physiology Play list on ClassroomMedicsTV YouTube Channel.

The Audio quality is so bad it's criminal. The screaming loud music is interrupted by a low voice only on the left channel. I had to check that my speaker hadn't blown. And I love brain science. Please triage the video.

I've watched this video about 10 times trying to learn, but when it asks the questions at the end i just keep thinking "...wow, that presenter is beautiful". She's bringing sexy back to science, like Brian Cox or Sheldon Cooper!

I'd like to record an EEG audio wave at 44.1khz 16 bit. Is it possible?

Oh god, My 3 year old has gotta have one of these on the 5th of April :(

Classrooms where they incorrectly spell words aren't the best places to learn. There is no "n" in "rhythm" (graphics at 1:50)..

What is Rotogenflux Methods and how does it work? I hear many people increase their IQ of 23 points with this iq course.
