EEGs were first recorded to have tracked electrical potentials from the cortexes of animals and introduced to the field of neurology

1935 - the first EEGs were made clinically available after reporting correlations between seizures and brain abnormalities

2017/2018 - Portable stroke detection devices are created but can only detect extreme hemorrhagic strokes and are inaccurate

1924 - Hans Berger records the first human electrical potentials using an EEG, on both damaged and healthy scalps

1947 - American EEG Society (now known as the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society) and other EEG laboraties were formed
