Advantages and Limitations of EEG. The work is to be 5 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. 462). Since the electrodes is capable of recording fast or slow oscillatory brain movements, the use of EEG enables neurologists to observe the actual movements of the brain neurons especially those with a high temporal resolution. Despite the benefits of using EEG, it will remain a fact that there are some advantages and limitations when it comes to the use of this particular brain monitoring device. After discussing the advantages and limitations of EEG devices, a list of recommendations will be presented at the end of this study. Advantages of EEG Devices When studying the main characteristics of chronic pain and the effects of pharmacological drug intervention, an accurate frequency measurement is very important. As compared to other monitoring devices, one of the main advantages of using the EEG devices is its high temporal (time) resolution which enables the EEG technicians to capture sample rates of a little more than 20 kHz within sub-millisecond (Agrawal and Mane, 2009, p. 19-12). Given that EEG is characterized by having a high temporal resolution, this particular brain monitoring device can detect changes in the brain’s electrical activity on a millisecond-level (Agrawal and Mane, 2009, p. 19-2).
