German psychiatrist Hans Berger was the first to measure human brainwaves with an electroencephalograph. Berger was obsessed with researching telepathy. Professor Faisal Mushtaq, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Leeds in Britain, explains that Berger developed the electroencephalograph as a tool for measuring “psychic energy” and secretly used it on his own son, then in his 10s, early in his research. Mushtaq notes that Berger has been a controversial figure from then to the present because of suspected connections to the Nazi regime. https://www.technologyreview.jp/s/344309/tech-that-measures-our-brainwaves-is-100-years-old-how-will-we-be-using-it-100-years-from-now/amp/
