The Eastern Association of Electroencephalographers (EAEEG)

The Eastern Association of Electroencephalographers (EAEEG) was established in 1947 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 next meeting will take place on May 8th and 9th, 2026 (Fri/Sat) at the Montreal Neurological Institute, in the beautiful Jeanne Timmins Amphitheatre. Please see the “Conference Schedule 2026” page for details.

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.
