However, he then concentrated on the field of neurology and follow the pioneering work done by British scientist, Richard Caton. He has recorded human EEG in 1924. This success gave way to find the alpha waves and explaining for the first time-that the epilepsy has an effect on the brain. Disturbed by the rise of Nazism and the effects of World War II, Berger hanged himself on June 1, 1941.
7. Valeri Legasov
Valeri Alekseevich Legasov was a leading Soviet scientist in the field of inorganic chemistry and a member of the USSR Academy of Sciences. He is also chairman of the committee investigating the Chernobyl disaster on April 26, 1986.After the Chernobyl disaster, Legasov become a key member of a government commission established to investigate the causes of disasters and to plan the liquidation of the consequences. In August 1986, he presented the report of the Soviet delegation at the special meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna.
