Hans Berger was a German scientist known for his pioneering work in electroencephalography (EEG). He is credited with developing the first EEG machine and discovering the brain's electrical activity, known as Berger waves. His research laid the foundation for modern neuroscience and clinical neurophysiology, significantly advancing our understanding of brain function and neurological disorders. Berger's contributions have had a lasting impact on both medical practice and scientific research.
"We see in the electroencephalogram a concomitant phenomenon of the continuous nerve processes which take place in the brain, exactly as the electrocardiogram represents a concomitant phenomenon of the contractions of the individual segments of the heart."
