经过近30年的艰苦研究，德国耶拿的神经学家和精神病学家汉斯·伯杰（Hans Berger）于1929年发表了第一篇关于人类脑电图的论文。临床脑电图在20世纪50年代和60年代达到顶峰，增加了一系列脑部疾病的诊断技术范围，并彻底改变了癫痫的研究。今天，传统的脑电图不再产生惊人的科学发现。它也不能完成与计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像，在诊断结构性疾病的大脑。尽管如此，它的使用范围继续增加，它仍然是神经生理学诊断不可或缺的工具，特别是在其作为大脑“地震仪”的能力。全世界都有一种明显的趋势，即削减临床脑电图单位，以支持其他神经生理学研究技术，这种趋势既不合理，也很危险。如果继续下去，它将不可避免地导致癫痫学的下降，这是许多不同医学专家在实践和医院工作的重要组成部分。
As a result of painstaking studies carried out over a period of almost 30 years, the German neurologist and psychiatrist Hans Berger, of Jena, published the first paper on the human electroencephalogram (Uber das Elektrenkephalogramm des Menschen') in 1929. Clinical electroencephalography, which reached a zenith in the 1950s and 1960s, increased the range of diagnostic techniques available for a series of brain diseases and revolutionized the study of epilepsy. Today, conventional electroencephalography no longer yields startling scientific discoveries. Nor can it complete with computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, in the diagnosis of structural disorders of the brain. In spite of this, the scope of its uses continues to increase and it remains an indispensable instrument of neurophysiological diagnosis, especially in its capacity as a 'seismograph' of the brain. The trend that is apparent throughout the world to cut back clinical electroencephalographic units in favor of other neurophysiological investigative techniques is both unjustified and dangerous. If it continues, it will inevitably lead to a decline in epileptology, which is an essential part of the work of many different medical specialists both in practice and in hospitals.
