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".
