چکیده
Hans Berger (1873 – 1941) the German psychiatrist invented electroencephalography (EEG) for the recording of "brain waves" in 1924. He did this by measuring electrical activity in the brains of hospital patients with skull damage. He documented these alpha waves along with beta activity. He found that when alpha waves decrease and beta activity becomes dominant, we are fully awake. As he was the discoverer of the alpha brain wave rhythm it is known as "Berger's wave".
