When was EEG invented?

EEG, which stands for electroencephalography, was invented in 1924 by a German psychiatrist named Hans Berger. He was the first person to record and analyze the electrical activity of the human brain using electrodes placed on the scalp. Berger’s groundbreaking work opened up new avenues for the study of brain function and led to the development of numerous applications of EEG in clinical medicine, neuroscience, and psychology. Today, EEG remains a valuable tool for diagnosing and monitoring neurological disorders, studying brain activity, and developing brain-computer interfaces.
