EEG (Electroencephalography) is a non-invasive neuroimaging technique that measures the electrical activity of the brain through electrodes placed on the scalp. It is commonly used in various fields, including:
1. Clinical neurology: to diagnose and monitor conditions like epilepsy, seizures, and encephalitis.
2. Cognitive neuroscience: to study brain function, attention, perception, and cognitive processes.
3. Sleep medicine: to evaluate sleep disorders and monitor brain activity during sleep.
4. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs): to develop systems that allow people to control devices with their thoughts.
5. Neurofeedback training: to teach self-regulation of brain activity for conditions like ADHD, anxiety, and depression.
6. Research: to investigate brain function, neural plasticity, and brain development.
NCS can refer to several things. Here are a few possibilities:
Nerve Conduction Study (NCS)
A Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) is a medical test that measures the speed and strength of electrical signals in nerves. It's often used to diagnose and monitor conditions such as:
1. Carpal tunnel syndrome
2. Peripheral neuropathy
3. Nerve damage or injury
Neurological labs are research and medical facilities that specialize in the study and treatment of neurological disorders. Some of the services neurological labs provide include:
- EEG tests: These measure the electrical activity in the brain and are used to diagnose and monitor conditions like epilepsy
- Nerve conduction velocity tests: These measure the speed at which electrical impulses travel through nerves and are used to diagnose conditions like peripheral neuropathy and carpal tunnel syndrome
- Research into the causes and treatments of neurological conditions like Alzheimer's disease and stroke.
- Development of new treatments and instruments for neurosurgery.
- Diagnosis and treatment of conditions like brain tumors and aneurysms.
