Herbert Jasper
Herbert Henri Jasper , OC , GOQ , FRSC (born July 27, 1906 in La Grande, Oregon , † June 11, 1999 ) was a Canadian psychologist, neuroscientist and epileptologist.
He pioneered the field of electroencephalography . From 1932 to 1938 he built an EEG laboratory at Brown University in Providence (Rhode Island) . In 1935 he published the first paper in the USA on the human EEG in Science .
To date, its development of the 10-20 system is significant.
Jasper was an employee of Wilder Penfield . He taught at McGill University (from 1938 to 1965) and at the University of Montreal (from 1965 to 1975).
Since 1986 the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society (ACNS) i. d. R. annually in his honor a prize named after him.
