Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a form of test used to measure the electrical activity in the brain. The activity is characterized by the means of brain waves and is measured by frequency, amplitude, and polarity of the brain waves. The K complexes are the form of brain waves that are involved in reducing the activity towards dream stimulus, such as danger, and also help to retain memory traces.
