Definitions:

Electroencephalogram (EEG)

A test that measures electrical activity in the brain using small, metal discs attached to the scalp.

Action Potential

A rapid, temporary change in the electrical potential across a cell membrane, leading to the transmission of nerve impulses.

Single Active Neuron

describes a scenario where only one neuron is actively firing, often used in neurological studies to understand neuronal behavior.

Action Potentials

Rapid, short-duration electrical impulses in a neuron or muscle cell, which allow for the transmission of information and signals.
