This year marks the 100th anniversary of the invention of the EEG (electroencephalogram) by Hans Berger (1873–1941), who is widely recognized as the first to record electrical brain waves in humans. While brainwaves recorded on photographic paper served as an effective example of what Berger called Hirnspiegel (“brain-mirror”), his early drawings provide a unique insight into the workings of his mind—and, by extension, those of any researcher.

Abstract
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the invention of the EEG (electroencephalogram) by Hans Berger (1873–1941), who is widely recognized as the first to record electrical brain waves in humans. While brainwaves recorded on photographic paper served as an effective example of what Berger called Hirnspiegel (“brain-mirror”), his early drawings provide a unique insight into the workings of his mind—and, by extension, those of any researcher.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
