actually come from your neurons firing! Because of the way action
potentials are structured, their effects on the electric field cancel
themselves out by the time they make it outside of your head. The EEG
actually comes from your dendrites, which are the tree-like parts of
the neuron that collect signals from other neurons. But even then,
only some neurons have the right shape for their dendrites to
contribute to the EEG.&lt;/p&gt;
