1924-2024: First centennial of EEG
Abstract
On July 6th of 1924 Hans Berger -a German psychiatrist- first recorded electric signals from the human brainvia scalp electrodes. This date marks the beginning of Electroencephalography. In this review a representative panel of past and present Officers of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology (IFCN) and of its Official Journal briefly summarizes the past, present and future of Electroencephalographic and related neurophysiological techniques' impact and the role of the IFCN in global collaboration, education, standardization, research innovation, and clinical practice.
