Overview

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a non-invasive method for recording the brain's electrical activity, widely used in clinical diagnostics and neuroscience research. Developed by Hans Berger in 1924, EEG has been instrumental in understanding brain function and diagnosing conditions like epilepsy, with companies like Medtronic and Philips Healthcare contributing to its advancement. Researchers like Andrew Schwartz and John Donoghue have utilized EEG in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, while organizations like the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative continue to fund EEG-related research.
