  Berger
Hans Berger was born in May 21st, 1873, in Neuses near Coburg, Thuringia, Germany.
Hans Berger was habilitated in Jena in 1901 and was appointed ausserordentlicher professor in 1906, 1912 physician-in-chief at the clinic, and in 1919 became director of the clinic and succeeded Binswanger in the chair of psychiatry and neurology.
In developing electroencephalography, Berger was fully aware that Richard Caton (1842-1926), a Liverpool surgeon, had succeeded in 1875 in measuring electrical potentials on the exposed cortex of experimental animals (rabbit and monkey), and that he was thus the discoverer of the electrical activity of the brain.

 Hans Berger Summary

Berger graduated with honors from the Gymnasium in Coburg and then enrolled at the University of Berlin as an astronomy student in 1892.
This seemed to Berger to be a pure case of telepathic communication with his sister, and he became convinced that he could find the objective proof of such a psychic power.

Hans Berger, an Austrian psychiatrist was the first to record electroencephalographs from humans.
Berger found that the best recordings were made with an electrode on the occiput (lower rear of the skull) and another on the forehead (which functions as a reference).
Berger reported that the amplitude of the Beta waves was smaller than Alpha, despite the fact that he was able to demonstrate that Beta waves were related to mental concentration and to startle reactions.

 EXplorations in Medicine
Berger named this new form of recording as the electroencephalogram (EEG, for short); * that this activity changed according to the functional status of the brain, such as in sleep, anesthesia, hypoxia (lack of oxygen) and in certain nervous diseases, such as in epilepsy.
Berger electrodes were too large to made detailed topographycal studies of the EEG (in other words, to use electrical activity recorded from the brain to pinpoint areas of sensory projection, the localization of tumors or of epileptic foci, etc.).
This was left to W. Gray Walter, a remarkable British scientist, who, in 1936, proved that, by using a larger number of electrodes pasted to the scalp, each one having a small size, it was possible to identify abnormal electrical activity in the brain areas around a tumor, and diminished activity inside it.

Using this technique Berger found the regular waves at about 10 cycles per second which he named the Alpha waves because they were the first waveforms he isolated in the human EEG.
Berger reported that the amplitude of the Beta waves were smaller than Alpha, despite the fact that he was able to demonstrate that Beta waves were present during intense mental concentration and under conditions when the person was startled or caught off-guard.
Berger also found that epileptic patients had large amplitude which proved to be very significant in the medical world.

In the mid-1960s Jean Berger's Alleluia from Brazilian Psalms was a popular concert work, as was his excellent setting of Psalm 145, The eyes of all wait upon Thee.
While solidly tonal, Berger's music is driven by harmonic structures that often veer off the triadic track into chords built on close dissonances and seemingly ambiguous function--but, while the going sometimes becomes craggy, everything always returns to a satisfying, sonorous finality.
Hans Gál's choral music is rarely if ever heard these days (for a review of his piano preludes, type Q5514 in Search Reviews), and if these two sets of part-songs are any indication, it's easy to understand why.

By the late 1560s and early 1570s, however, he had regained his position at Court and was once again painting members of the royal household, including the Queen herself.

Historically, the roots of Alpha brain wave feedback training lie in a discovery made in 1908 by an Austrian Psychiatrist named Hans Berger.
He discovered the existence of oscillating electrical waves in the brain, and he called them Alpha waves, because they were the first electrical activity to be discovered in the brain.
Berger also discovered that Alpha waves were uncommon in anxious people, and if an anxious person did have a few Alpha waves, they were smaller than usual (a weaker signal with less amplitude).
