Abstract

Electroneurophysiology is the scientific field dedicated to the recording and examination of the electrical activity of the brain and the nervous system. Hans Berger, a psychiatrist and neurologist, is known as the innovator of electroencephalography (EEG), the method used to record the electrical activity of the brain. During World War I, Hans Berger conducted the first electroencephalogram recording by placing electrodes in the brains of individuals who had suffered head injuries (1924). In the subsequent years, he demonstrated that electroencephalogram recordings could also be made using electrodes placed on the scalp. Today, Electroencephalography is recorded using electrodes attached to the scalp, following the internationally accepted 10-20 system.
