An Automated Approach for Epilepsy Detection Based on Tunable Q-Wavelet and Firefly Feature Selection Algorithm by Ahmed I. Sharaf, Mohamed Abu El-Soud, Ibrahim M. El-Henawy

“…Detection of epileptic seizures using an electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is a challenging task that requires a high level of skilled neurophysiologists. Therefore, computer-aided detection provides an asset to the neurophysiologist in interpreting the EEG. …”

History of Pain Research and Management in Canada by Harold Merskey

“…Ideas about pain were evolving in Canada in the 1950s with Donald Hebb, Professor of Psychology at McGill University in Montreal, corresponding with the leading American neurophysiologist, George H Bishop. Hebb's pupil Ronald Melzack engaged in studies of early experiences in relation to pain and, joining with Patrick Wall at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, published the 1965 paper in Science that revolutionized thinking. …”
