To confirm a diagnosis of epilepsy,a neurologist needs to record the overall electrical activity in Hillary's brain.What would be the best way for the neurologist to obtain this information

A)  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)  
B)  an electroencephalograph (EEG)  
C)  transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)  
D)  computerized tomography (CT) scan

Electroencephalograph (EEG)

A diagnostic tool that records electrical activity in the brain using small, metal discs attached to the scalp.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression and other conditions.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

A diagnostic imaging technique that uses a powerful magnetic field and radio waves to generate detailed images of the organs and tissues within the body.
