Hans Berger
_________discovered the Berger Rhythm of 10Hz Alpha waves in 1924.
Hans Berger
Beta waves that occur when eyes are open
Alpha blocking discovered by Hans Berger
_____________ we’re two British researchers who confirmed Berger’s observations of alpha rhythm.
Edgar Adrian and Bryan Matthews
____________ A researcher who proved all-or-none law of electrical output of nerve cells in 1934
Edgar Adrian
A British researcher who developed a oscillograph and differential amplifier
Bryan Matthews
An American neurologist who demonstrated abnormal EEG rhythms associated with epilepsy in 1934
Frederick Gibbs
__________ categorized the EEG into standard bandwidths in 1935
Frederic Bremer
____________ discovered delta waves in 1937 and theta waves in 1953
W. Gray Walter
A historical figure who published standards for measuring brain waves on the scalp of humans (i.e. 10-20 system)
Herbert H. Jasper
These two individuals described the EEG and phenomenology of sleep states and transitions and laid out basic patterns of sleep cycles bridged by conscious transitions
Nathaniel Kleitmsn and William Dement
These two researchers from Yale University developed biofeedback as a means of gaining voluntary control the autonomic nervous system (operant conditioning)
Neal Miller and Leo DeCara
This individual demonstrated the thalamic pacemaker control mechanism through the thalamo-cortical loop in 1968
Per Anderson
This researcher discovered long-term potentiation (LTP) and described synchronous 7 Hz burst originating in the thalamic nuclei that introduced brain idling rhythms like alpha an absence of environmental challenge
Per Anderson
____________ discovered that he could use operant conditioning on cats to increase their sensory motor rhythm along the sensory motor cortex. He found up training SMR increased the resistance to seizure in cats and humans in 1969
Berry Sterman
Joel Lubar is known for studying which disorders
Attention Disorders and Epilepsy

Joel Lubar
Joel Lubar’s earliest ADHD protocols involved placing sensors bilaterally halfway between Cz and Fz or halfway between Cz and Fz and increasing _______ while decreasing ______
Increasing Beta 16 to 20 Hz while decreasing Thera 4 to 8 Hz

Sue and Siegfried Othmer
__________ discovered he could help students decrease state and trait anxiety by increasing alpha rhythm in 1978.
Joseph Kamiya
Joseph Kamiya demonstrated operant conditioning of alpha rhythm and investigated EEG correlates of__________
Meditational states
