Joseph Kamiya

Joseph Kamiya is a psychologist known for his pioneering research in neuroscience, particularly in understanding how the brain generates conscious experiences. He is famous for discovering that the activity of neurons in the brain’s cerebral cortex can be measured through tiny electrical signals called EEG waves, especially alpha waves. His work helped demonstrate the link between specific brain activities and mental states, such as relaxation and alertness. This foundation contributed significantly to the fields of neuropsychology and brain-computer studies, advancing our understanding of how brain activity relates to human consciousness and behavior.
