<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->These various forms of EEG recording can be used in the following clinical situations:
to distinguish epileptic seizures from other types of spells, such as psychogenic non-epileptic seizures, syncope (fainting), sub-cortical movement disorders and migraine variants.
to characterize seizures for the purposes of treatment
to localize the region of brain from which a seizure originates for work-up of possible seizure surgery
to monitor for non-convulsive seizures/non-convulsive status epilepticus
to differentiate "organic" encephalopathy or delirium from primary psychiatric syndromes such as catatonia
monitoring depth of anesthesia
as an indirect indicator of cerebral perfusion in carotid endarterectomy
to serve as an adjunct test of brain death
to prognosticate, in certain instances, in patients with coma
Use of the quantitative EEG (mathematical measurement of aspects of the EEG signal) in primary psychiatric, behavioral and learning disorders is somewhat controversial.

The EEG has been used for many purposes besides the <b>conventional uses of clinical diagnosis and conventional cognitive neuroscience</b>. Neurofeedback remains an important extension, and in its most advanced form is also attempted as the basis of brain computer interfaces. There are many commercial products substantially based on the EEG.
For example, as of March 24th 2007 a US company called <b>Emotiv </b>launched a pointing device for video games based on electroencephalography.[6]
