 Franz Joseph Gall (www.whonamedit.com)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Gall's lectures on cranioscopy became very popular, and it was his followers who gave his doctrine the name "phrenology".
Gall preferred the term "cranioscopy" to describe such an analysis; Spurzheim and others were primarily responsible for the more popular use of the word "phrenology" to denote this approach.
Gall's extensive case records from insane asylums, prisons, schools, and public life were supplemented by large collections of craniums, skull- and brain casts, including those of well-known writers, philosophers and artists, to serve as a basis for correlation and corroboration of his theories.

 Cranioscopy Information
Term created by Franz Joseph Gall (1758-1828), a German neuroanatomist and physiologist who was a pioneer in the study of the localization of mental functions in the brain, to name his technique to infer brain localization of function on the basis of the external anatomy of the skull or cranium.
Cranioscopy is the basis of phrenology, but was later proved to be unscientific.
