A member asked:
Does an eeg use any radiation?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Eeg uses an array of scalp electrodes to measure electrical activity generated by neurons in the brain, and does not require any radiation, dye, or strong magnetic fields. It is an extremely safe test.

No: Merely, a recording of brain electrical activity, and no electricity goes to the patient, only a recording.
