The Eastern Association of Electroencephalographers: A Canadian/USA success story
Objective/methods
The Eastern Association of Electroencephalographers (EAEEG), founded in 1946, is recognized as the world’s oldest EEG society. This review traces its history, highlighting contributions from notable members and the significance of the Kirshman and Milner lectureships in advancing the field.
Results
Although established in Hartford, Connecticut, the society’s intellectual roots lie at the Montreal Neurological Institute, home to pioneering EEG researchers Wilder Penfield and Herbert Jasper. Over more than seven decades, the EAEEG has played a pivotal role in fostering research, education, and collaboration across the United States and Canada. Its conferences have featured distinguished keynote lectures, including presentations by three Nobel Laureates, emphasizing the society’s prominence in neurophysiological advancements. The society has successfully facilitated transnational collaboration, offering a platform for both trainees and experienced clinicians and scientists to exchange knowledge and promote progress in clinical and basic neurophysiology.
Conclusions/Significance
Despite the prominence of large international conferences, the EAEEG’s influence underscores the importance of smaller, multinational societies in shaping neurophysiological research and practice. Its history exemplifies how collaborative efforts between the US and Canada can drive scientific innovation and education within a supportive, collegial environment, reinforcing the enduring impact of specialized professional societies on the field.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Neurophysiology Practice (CNP) is a new Open Access journal that focuses on clinical practice issues in clinical neurophysiology including relevant new research, case reports or clinical series, normal values and didactic reviews. It is an official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology and complements Clinical Neurophysiology which focuses on innovative research in the specialty. It has a role in supporting established clinical practice, and an educational role for trainees, technicians and practitioners.
