Machine To Measure Brain Waves

3D Model

This machine, made in 1958, is an electroencephalograph (EEG) – a device that measures electrical activity in the brain. This one was used to monitor brain activity during epileptic seizures. It was used by neuroscientist Walter Grey at the Burden Neurological Institute, in Bristol – an institution set up in 1939 to study diseases of the brain.
