Description
Image appears in the 1962 Annual Report with the caption, "Many devices are used to diagnose neurological diseases. Among them is the electroencephalograph (EEG) an electronic diagnostic instrument which amplifies and samples the extremely minute electrical activity of the brain. Electrical impulses are recorded from the surface of the head through the scalp by strategically placed electrodes. Its uses are for exploration of diseases of the brain, such as vascular disease, tumors, encephalitis, metabolic diseases affecting the nervous system, and epilepsy. Two EEG machines, each of which costs about $8,000, are in use at Grace-New Haven Hospital."
