A(n) _______ montage detects voltage differences between single, adjacent electrodes
A bipolar montage detects voltage differences between single, adjacent electrodes. The montage consists of multiple bipolar derivations where no single electrode is common to all derivations. In most cases, the bipolar derivations are linked.
The _______ rhythm consists of bursts of alpha or theta waves over the temporal region of the scalp when subjects are mentally active.
The kappa rhythm consists of bursts of alpha or theta waves over the temporal region of the scalp when subjects are mentally active.
Which term refers to the non-simultaneous occurrence of EEG activity in regions on the same or opposite side of the head?
Asynchrony refers to the non-simultaneous occurrence of EEG activity in regions on the same or opposite side of the head
Which term refers to electrical activity that appears at two respective input terminals of a differential amplifier?
A common mode signal appears at two respective input terminals of a differential amplifier. Example: 50/60Hz artifact is a common common mode signal in EEG recording.
A montage in which the reference electrode is common to multiple derivations is termed a(n) _______montage.
A montage in which the reference electrode is common to multiple derivations is termed a common reference montage
Which electrode is placed over the scalp or brain to detect EEG activity?
An active electrode electrode is placed over the scalp or brain to detect EEG activity.
Which term refers to the difference between two unlike signals applied to the respective two input terminals of a differential amplifier?
A differential signal is the difference between two unlike signals applied to the respective two input terminals of a differential amplifier.
A(n) _______ montage detects the voltage difference between a single electrode placed in input 1 and the average of the remaining 10-20 electrodes placed in input 2.
An average reference montage detects the voltage difference between a single electrode placed in input 1 and the average of the remaining 10-20 electrodes placed in input 2.
Which term refers to the abrupt appearance and disappearance of a group of waves that can be discriminated from background activity?
A burst refers to the abrupt appearance and disappearance of a group of waves that can be discriminated from background activity.
Which rhythm ranges from 7-11 Hz and is detected over the central or centro-parietal regions of the scalp when a patient is awake?
The mu rhythm ranges from 7-11 Hz and is detected over the central or centro-parietal regions of the scalp when a patient is awake. This rhythm is composed of arch-shaped waves that can be blocked or weakened by contralateral movement or the intention to move.
Which electrode is typically connected to input terminal 2 of an EEG amplifier and used to measure the potential variations of another electrode?
A reference electrode is typically connected to input terminal 2 of an EEG amplifier and used to measure the potential variations of an active electrode.
Which montage consists of referential derivations?
A referential montage consists of referential derivations (pairs of electrodes including an active electrode placed in input terminal 1 and reference electrode placed in input terminal 2 of an EEG amplifier).
Which montage detects voltage differences between a single electrode and an average of the remaining electrodes weighted in proportion to their distance from the electrode placed in input 1?
A Laplacian montage detects voltage differences between a single electrode and an average of the remaining electrodes weighted in proportion to their distance from the electrode placed in input 1.
A _______ refers to both the process of recording from a pair of electrodes in an EEG channel and the resulting EEG record.
A derivation refers to both the process of recording from a pair of electrodes in an EEG channel and the resulting EEG record
Which montage permits the best analysis of asymmetry?
A common reference montage achieves good analysis of asymmetry provided that there is symmetrical placement of the reference electrode(s).
