EEG's are instrumental electrical readings of Brain activity. If EEG reading is flat, it indicates that the Brain is no longer functioning and is generally used to pronouce death in patients who have been on long-term life support.

Is a flat EEG a good indication of deep sleep?
No. A completely flat EEG is the indicator of brain death. Even in deep sleep, the brain remains active and the EEG will reflect this.
What is necessary to pronounce someone dead?
flat EEG.
What type of EEG is evidence of clinical death?
Yes. An Electroencephalogram (EEG) measures brain waves. When there is no brain activity, the EEG output ("line") goes flat. This indicates clinical death even if the patient still has breathing via a ventilator or heart rate via a pacemaker or other life-sustaining heroic measures.This is used along with other testing to help make decisions on continuing or discontinuing the artificial life functions. If there is no more activity registering on the EEG other than the internal background noise level, it can be used as neurologic criteria, in conjunction with other testing and examination, to confirm death. Although confirmatory in the U.S., the EEG alone is insufficient to pronounce death.yes. EEG measures brain waves.
Can eeg cause seizures?
A person could have a seizure while having an EEG, but that does not mean the EEG is the cause. The EEG is just recording the brain activity. During the course of an EEG a patient is exposed to different things to see what way the brain behaves, like getting the patient to breathe heavily or flashing lights at them.
