Atlas of Brain Mapping: Topographic Mapping of EEG and Evoked Potentials

From its discovery in 1929 by Hans Berger until the late 1960s, when sensory visual and auditory evoked potentials were discovered and became popular, the EEG was the most important method of neurophysiological examination. W-ith the advent of computer technology in the 1980s, it became possible to plot the potential fields of the EEG onto models of the scalp. This plotting of information as neuroimages followed the structural and functional techniques of Cf, MRI, PET and SPECf. The success...
