It's called an ElectroEncephaloGraph or EEG. It can pick up brain activity when you're awake, asleep or in a deep coma. It is used to diagnose sleep disorders, seizures and can diagnose brain death in comatose patients.

In addition to the EEG already mentioned, PET scanning (Positron Emmission Testing) can be used to monitor activity in the brain.

An EEG. Have some fun at the clinic; breath really deep and really fast and it reads like you are having a minor seizure.
