irritative form of hallucinatory activity — A term introduced in or shortly before 1973 by the American ophthalmologist David Glendenning Cogan (1908 1993) to denote a type of hallucinatory activity attributable to epileptiform (i.e. irritative ) activity within the CNS. The ensuing… … Dictionary of Hallucinations
Electroencephalography — (EEG) is the measurement of electrical activity produced by the brain as recorded from electrodes placed on the scalp.Just as the activity in a computer can be understood on multiple levels, from the activity of individual transistors to the… … Wikipedia
Electrocorticography — (ECoG) is the practice of using electrodes placed directly on the exposed surface of the brain to record electrical activity from the cerebral cortex. ECoG may be performed either in the operating room during surgery (intraoperative ECoG) or… … Wikipedia

Giant depolarizing potentials — (GDP) are the first type of electrical activity of developing brain. These patterns of activity differ a lot from the adult brain activity patterns: they do not carry encoded information, they are generalized, they are relatively slow (with… … Wikipedia
Epileptiform activity during an absence seizure, characterized by high-amplitude, 3-Hertz spike and wave discharge emerging from a normal electroencephalographic (EEG) background, rarely lasting longer than 2 to 10 seconds, and abruptly stopping with resumption of normal activity. The discharge is strictly regular, bilateral, and most prominent in frontal leads (Fp1–F7, Fp1–F3, FZ–CZ, Fp2–F4, Fp2–F8).
