Hans Berger (21 May 1873 – 1 June 1941) was born in Neuses (now part of Coburg), Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Germany. He is best known as the first to record human electroencephalograms (EEGs or "brain waves") in 1924, for which he invented the electroencephalogram (giving the device its name), and the discoverer of the alpha wave rhythm known as "Berger's wave".

Famous quotes containing the word berger:
“The heart of Paris is like nothing so much as the unending interior of a house. Buildings become furniture, courtyards become carpets and arrases, the streets are like galleries, the boulevards conservatories. It is a house, one or two centuries old, rich, bourgeois, distinguished. The only way of going out, or shutting the door behind you, is to leave the centre.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
