Basic Mechanisms of the EEG
This volume is based on selected and updated papers from the symposium on "Basic Mechanisms of the EEG," which was held under the sponsor ship of the German EEG Society in Hamburg on September 28-29, 1990. The intention of this symposium was to relate recent experimental, clini cal, and neuropathological data on the basic mechanism that underlie the EEG. Although we know much about these mechanisms, there is still much more to be learned. The symposium was partly the continuation of an earlier symposium on "Origin of Cerebral Field Potentials" held in 1979 in Munster under the leadership of one of the present editors (E. -J. Speckmann) and H. Caspers. The present work combines new experiment...

Gewerkschaften im Gedächtnis der Demokratie
Welchen Platz nehmen die Kämpfe von Gewerkschaften und anderen sozialen Bewegungen in der kollektiven Erinnerung ein? Wie ist es um deren Errungenschaften bestellt? Was stärkt die Werte sozialer Demokratie in der Erinnerungskultur? Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes bieten erstmals ausführliche Einblicke in die Erinnerungsgeschichte sozialer Kämpfe und Auseinandersetzungen um Gleichheit, Freiheit und Gerechtigkeit. An wen oder an was erinnert wurde, erweist sich dabei immer auch als Machtfrage, als Kampf um Inklusion und Exklusion. Dieser Band stellt somit nicht nur einen ersten Schritt auf dem Weg zu einer Erinnerungsgeschichte sozialer Demokratie dar, sondern leistet auch einen Beitrag zur politischen Debatte der Gegenwart.
Brainwaves: A Cultural History of Electroencephalography
In the history of brain research, the prospect of visualizing brain processes has continually awakened great expectations. In this study, Cornelius Borck focuses on a recording technique developed by the German physiologist Hans Berger to register electric brain currents; a technique that was expected to allow the brain to write in its own language, and which would reveal the way the brain worked. Borck traces the numerous contradictory interpretations of electroencephalography, from Berger’s experiments and his publication of the first human EEG in 1929, to its international proliferation and consolidation as a clinical diagnostic method in the mid-twentieth century. Borck's thesis is that the language of the brain takes on specific contours depending on the local investigative cultures, from whose conflicting views emerged a new scientific object: the electric brain.
Hirnströme
Die Visualisierung von Gehirnprozessen hat in der Geschichte der Hirnforschung regelmäßig große Erwartungen geweckt. Cornelius Borck stellt mit der Registrierung elektrischer Hirnströme eine Aufzeichnungstechnik ins Zentrum seiner Untersuchung, mit der sich seinerzeit die Hoffnung verknüpfte, das Gehirn in seiner eigenen Sprache schreiben zu lassen und so seine Funktionsweise lesbar zu machen. Er verfolgt die vielfach widersprüchlichen Deutungen zur Elektroenzephalographie von den Versuchen des deutschen Psychiaters Hans Berger und seiner Veröffentlichung eines menschlichen EEG im Jahr 1929 bis zu ihrer internationalen Ausbreitung und Konsolidierung als klinische Diagnosemethode in de...
Brain Science under the Swastika
Eighty years ago the largest genocide ever occurred in Nazi Europe. This began with the mass extermination of patients with neurologic and psychiatric disorders that Hitler's regime considered "useless eaters". The neuropsychiatric profession was systematically "cleansed" beginning in 1933, but racism and eugenics had infiltrated the specialty long before that. With the installation of Nazi-principled neuroscientists, mass forced sterilization was enacted, which transitioned to patient murder by the start of World War II. But the murder of roughly 275,000 patients was not enough. The patients' brains were stored and used in scientific publications both during and long after the war. Also, pa...
