Abstract
The discovery of electrical potentials of the brain is thought to have been made by Caton (1875), who presented the results of his research with rabbits and monkeys to the British Medical Association in Edinburgh. Half a century later in Jena, Austria, Hans Berger (1929) discovered human brain waves and, hence, Berger is recognized as the father of electroencephalography, the recording of oscillations in the potential differences between two points in the brain (Berger, 1937).
