What does EEG stand for?

  1. Elelctro encephalogram

  2. Effective ego gain

  3. Environmental engineering group

  4. Elastic electronography

The correct answer is: Elelctro encephalogram

Electro encephalogram, commonly abbreviated as EEG, is a medical test that uses electrodes to record the electrical activity in the brain. This option is correct because it accurately represents the full form of EEG. The other options, while having some similar sounding words, are not related to the medical test and do not accurately describe the acronym. B Effective ego gain is not a commonly known term and has no relation to EEG. C: Environmental engineering group is also not related to the medical test and is not a commonly used term. D: Elastic electronography is not a commonly used term in the medical field and does not accurately represent the acronym EEG.
