What are EEG and EMG Equipment?

Applying electrodes to the scalp can help in measuring and recording the brain's electrical activity. An electroencephalograph, or EEG, is a piece of equipment used to diagnose neurological conditions and learn more about how the brain works. Electromyograph (EMG) devices record electrical activity in the muscles using either surface or needle electrodes. This allows the assessment of muscle function and the diagnosis of neuromuscular diseases. Both technologies are necessary for the evaluation and understanding of neurological and muscular health.

By introducing surface electrodes or tiny needles into the muscle tissue, EMG equipment detects electrical activity in muscles. It can also help in examining the electrical signals produced during muscle contraction. This aids in the diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders, evaluation of muscle function, and distinguishing between problems involving the muscles and the nerves.
