Electroencephalography is the primary diagnostic tool used to measure brain activity during wakefulness, as evidenced by its ability to track changes in alertness over time [1], discriminate between wakefulness and sleep states [2], and identify similar beta wave patterns present in both wakefulness and REM sleep [3].

claimContinual wakefulness beyond approximately 16 hours leads to measurable changes in brain activity, as recorded by an electroencephalogram (EEG), which correspond to lower alertness and a propensity to sleep.
