Positioning of electrodes for polysomnography

Positioning of electrodes for polysomnography
This figure shows the position of the electrodes for the EEG, EOG, chin and leg EMG, and ECG on a standard sleep study with video monitoring. The EEG is used to detect brain wave activity, EOG is used to capture eye movement, EMG is used to detect muscle activity and movement, and ECG captures electrical activity of the heart.
PSG: polysomnography; EEG: electroencephalography; EOG: electrooculography; EMG: electromyography; ECG: electrocardiography.
