EEG Introduction. An EEG, or electroencephalogram, is a test that can help diagnose epilepsy. During an EEG, the electrical signals of the brain are recorded. This electrical activity is detected by electrodes, or sensors, placed on the patient's scalp and transmitted to a polygraph that records the activity.
life of Riley definition. A life of luxury: âSheila found herself living the life of Riley after she won the lottery.â The expression comes from a popular song of the 1880s, âIs That Mr. Reilly?â, in which the title character describes what he would do if he suddenly became wealthy.
The Life of Riley, with William Bendix in the title role, is a popular American radio situation comedy series of the 1940s that was adapted into a 1949 feature film, a long-run 1950s television series (originally with Jackie Gleason as Riley for one truncated season, then with Bendix for six seasons), and a 1958 comic book.
