Which one of the following statements about EEG is true?

A
Alpha rhythm is most marked at parieto-occipital area
B
Beta rhythm is most marked at region below mastoid
C
In REM sleep, patient is awake
D
EPSP and IPSP of the cortical cells acting as dipoles
High-Yield Explanation
(A) Alpha rhythm is most marked at parieto-occipital area # Alpha Rhythm > In adult humans who are awake but at rest with the mind wandering and the eyes closed, the most prominent component of the EEG is fairly regular pattern of waves at a frequency of 8-12 Hz and an amplitude of 50-100 uV when recorded from the scalp.> This pattern is the alpha rhythm.> It is most marked in the parieto-occipital area, though it is sometimes observed in other locations.> A similar rhythm has been observed in a wide variety of mammalian species.> In the cat it is slightly more rapid than in the human, and there are other minor variations from species to species, but in all mammals the pattern is remarkably similar
