The Eastern Association of Electroencephalographers (EAEEG)

 The Eastern Association of Electroencephalographers (EAEEG) was established in 1946 by physician scientist colleagues from Montreal and Boston. Founding members included Wilder Penfield, Herbert Jasper, and many other pioneers of North American electroencephalography. The Eastern Association was the first EEG society in North America and continues to work to promote dialog between clinicians and basic researchers in the neurosciences.

The EAEEG holds an annual meeting, typically in late winter or early spring. Each meeting features a major talk or symposium along with a session for free communications. The most recent meeting took place on May 8th and 9th, 2026 (Fri/Sat) at the Montreal Neurological Institute, in the beautiful Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre. 

For 2026 meeting details, as well as membership and registration procedures, please see the “2026 Annual Meeting”

Epilepsy and electrophysiology/EEG are continuing themes of the EAEEG, but all related neuroscience areas are covered. Recent symposia topics have included in vivo brain imaging, sleep, magnetic brain stimulation, functional neuroimaging, and other topics related to epilepsy. Over the years, invited speakers have included Norbert Wiener, Sir John Eccles, Eric Kandel, Mark Hallett and many other prominent contributors in the neurosciences. Society Proceedings are generally published in Clinical Neurophysiology.

EAEEG has a long star-studded history of pioneering EEG science and technology to support research and clinical care.
