I. Before watching the video answer the questions:

1. What is electroencephalography, or EEG?

2. What does it measure? [Prompts: brain acitivity, electro-magnetic waves produced by neurons, the activity of a particular brain zone,  the biochemical makeup on neurons] You may want to read about it, for example, on this random website , although it is not necessary.

Watch the video and do the vocabulary exercise on it below.
