Electroencephalography is a non-invasive method of examining the brain using electrodes on the scalp - a method indispensable in neurology.

Here are some key aspects of EEG supported by scientific sources:

1. EEG basics: EEG measures the voltage potentials arising from current in and around neurons. The technique is versatile and is used in clinical diagnostics, neurorehabilitation, and brain activity studies (Biasiucci, Franceschiello & Murray, 2019)
2. Application in the diagnosis of epilepsy: EEG is valuable in many aspects of neurology, especially in the diagnosis of epilepsy (Blows, 2002)
3. History and development: EEG is one of the new diagnostic methods in medicine that has contributed to the understanding of convulsive disorders and the localization of organic disorders in the brain (Low, 1943).
4. Advanced EEG analysis techniques, such as functional connectivity and network analysis, have expanded the possibilities for using EEG in Alzheimer's disease clinical trials. (van Straaten, Scheltens, Gouw & Stam, 2014).

Additional examples and applications of electroencephalography (EEG):

1. Hand Movement Identification: important in the development of prosthesis management interfaces for people with neuromuscular diseases or amputated limbs
2. Examination of Brain Pathologies: EEG is used to detect and localize brain lesions, study epilepsy, diagnose psychiatric disorders, and monitor and analyze brain responses to sensory stimuli
3. Exploring Cognitive Processes: applications of EEG include analyzing brain waves to better understand cognitive processes in the brain. This helps not only in the diagnosis of brain disorders, but also in the study of human behavior and emotions 

These examples illustrate the wide range of applications of EEG, from clinical diagnostics to the study of complex cognitive processes and the development of innovative technologies for interfacing with computer interfaces. This method contributes significantly to brain science and neuroscience by providing a deep understanding of the brain's electrical activity and function.
