Researchers use EEG to measure electrical activity along a person's scalp. These electrical signals can move a computer cursor, play video games and perform other two-dimensional tasks.

Several EEG devices have been released in recent years sporting fewer sensors than the high-end kit, notably for use in video gaming.

Conclusion: The suggestive provocative test combined with Video-EEG would be an effective means to distinguish hysteria from epilepsy in children.
