Description:	This article reviews the basis of the electroencephalogram (EEG), and the principles of operation of commercial processed EEG devices. The goal is to provide an intuitive understanding of how these devices work without becoming distracted by technical jargon. As with any clinical device, knowing how these monitors function is crucial, not just to appreciate what they measure, but also to recognise when they might be misleading. A clear grasp of their underlying principles helps to avoid incorrect assumptions that could impact clinical decisions, and supports a more critical appraisal of both research findings and manufacturer claims.
