The electroencephalogram, or EEG, measures electrical activity in the brain and as such it is an excellent tool to, for instance, diagnose epilepsy or sleep disorders. The history of this valuable invention starts with Richard Caton, and his first publication on this subject in 1875. The Brainclinics Foundation presents an ongoing series of short documentaries, highlighting the crucial scientists who represent the dawn of a new era in Brain research.
