- Delivery of electrical or magnetic pulses to modulate nervous system activity. Examples include deep brain stimulation, vagus nerve stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation and spinal cord stimulation.
- DBS (deep brain stimulation)
- A surgically implanted system that delivers electrical pulses to targeted brain regions, used in movement disorders and selected psychiatric or epilepsy cases.
- EEG (electroencephalography)
- A non-invasive recording of electrical brain activity used to diagnose epilepsy, sleep disorders and encephalopathy and to monitor sedation.
- EMG (electromyography)
- A diagnostic technique that records electrical activity in muscles and nerves, often paired with nerve conduction studies for neuromuscular disorders.
