Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
An electroencephalograph (EEG) measures the electrical activity of the brain, similar to listening to the crowd's reactions without seeing the game directly. It's a form of "eavesdropping" on the brain's electrical activity, analogous to judging a game's excitement by the crowd's noise.
