Both measure electrical activity -- the ECG in the heart and the EEG in the brain.
An EEG is an electroencephalogram and an ECG also known as an EKG is an electrocardiogram. An EEG records brainwave/electrical activity. An ECG records the electrical activity that the heart produces.

What test would be used to study cognitive brain activity?

Brain imaging techniques such as fMRI or EEG can be used to study cognitive brain activity by measuring neuronal activity in different regions of the brain while participants engage in cognitive tasks. These techniques provide valuable insights into how different cognitive processes are carried out in the brain.


What does a venous angioma int he right frontal lobe without hemorrhage mean?

It means you have a vein malformation. I suffered my first seizure ever three days ago. Admitted to hospital, MRI with contrast and EEG showed my venous angioma is in the frontal lobe of my brain.
