People celebrate the 100th anniversary of the discovery of human EEG from various perspectives and envision its promising future. In 1948, 20 years after the discovery of human EEG, the first EEG equipment was introduced in China. A long and slow period of development followed. The number of EEG papers from China, about 20 a year, represented about 1/80 of the global total by the 70th anniversary of EEG in 1994. After a steady rise, Chinese EEG research reached about 1/3 of the global total by the 100th anniversary of EEG in 2024. Academic organizations related to EEG were established during this process, along with the widespread use of EEG in thousands of clinical hospitals and closely collaborating with international colleagues. Chinese and global EEG research are being bridged in this article to benefit mankind in the future by jointly creating more advancements in EEG technology.
