LS ~ hang on I'll text you a couple! err.. that'll help right?

OK *closes eyes, looks a bit strange at work*

Umm..

encephalogram n - short for ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM.

HA! yeah that definition helped!

Oh, here it is;

electroencephalograph n - instrument for recording electrical activity in the brain

electroencephalogram n tracing produced by this

Ahhhh.. so that's what they are! Always wanted one of those ~ so I mimicked my brain activity on etcha-sketch instead! (remember them??)

OK - so my sentence is; I made my own electroencephalogram recordings with etcha-sketch.
