| electroejaculation | <physiology> Controlled electrical stimulation, usually applied to the prostate gland with a probe, to induce ejaculation in a man who has nerve damage that prevents him from ejaculating normally.This technique is also used in veterinary medicine, especially by zoo vets who are trying to increase the populations of endangered mammal species by artificially inseminating females of the species in question.

| electroencephalogram | <investigation> A diagnostic test which measures the electrical activity of the brain (brain waves) using high sensitive recording equipment attached to the scalp by fine electrodes. Commonly employed in the evaluation of neurological disease (for example seizures, epilepsy, etc.). Acronym: EEG (13 Nov 1997) |
| electroencephalograph | A system for recording the electric potentials of the brain derived from electrodes attached to the scalp. Origin: electro-+ G. Encephalon, brain, + grapho, to write (05 Mar 2000) |
| electroencephalographic dysrhythmia | A diffusely irregular brain wave tracing. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electroencephalography | <investigation> The recording of the electric currents developed in the brain, by means of electrodes applied to the scalp, to the surface of the brain (intracranial e.) or placed within the substance of the brain (depth e.). (18 Nov 1997) |
| electroendosmosis | 1. <physics> The effect of an electric field on the diffusion of water through or into a membrane or gel. 2. <chemistry> The movement of the liquid medium of a colloid solution towards an electrode. (05 Jan 1998) |
