Brain is perhaps the most significant organ of our body which consists of billions of neurons which in turn use electric pulses for communicating among themselves. There is immense amount of electrical activity in our brain because of transmission of neuro signals in the form of electric pulses. These neuro signals are what is collectively known as brainwaves. They consist of synchronized and sequential electric pulses from neurons to various parts of our body via nerves. These brainwaves can be analyzed and detected by an equipment called Electroencephalograph. Traditionally the machines used to detect EEG signals where very large and costly but nowadays they have been miniaturized into EEG biosensors. EEG is a significant part of signal analysis because its amplitude graphs depict the various stimulations as well as brain states.
