The amplitude of brain waves in the EEG experiment is measured in units of

A) millimeters.
B) inches.
C) amperes.
D) microvolts.
E) Hertz.

Amplitude

The height or depth of a wave from the average level to the peak or trough, indicating the strength or intensity of the wave.

Microvolts

A unit of electric potential equal to one millionth of a volt, often used in measuring the electrical activity of neurons and muscles.

EEG Experiment

A test or study involving the recording of the electrical activity of the brain through electrodes placed on the scalp.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The amplitude of brain waves in the EEG experiment is measured in microvolts (μV). This is because EEG electrodes measure tiny electrical charges in the brain, and the amplitude of the signal is proportional to the strength of these charges. The other options (millimeters, inches, amperes, and Hertz) do not measure electrical signals in the same way as microvolts.
