Erna Leondhart Gibbs(1906-1987) was a German researcher who was instrumental in pioneering the use of electroencephalography (EEG), specifically in the treatment of epilepsy.
Gibbs came to the US in 1928 from Germany, and joined Dr. William G. Lennox in his lab at Harvard, studying the makeup of blood in patients with epilepsy. They were soon joined by Frederic A. Gibbs, whom Erna would marry in 1930, and collaborate with for the rest of her career[1]. After their work there, the Gibbses moved on to MIT to work with graduate student Albert Grass to build a three channel EEG, in place of the one channel EEG that was available at the time.
Throughout the years as they worked together, Erna and Frederic Gibbs created the Atlas of Electroencephalography, as well as other articles on their work. They received awards for their findings, such as the E Mead Johnson Award in 1938, the Mary Lasker Award for Medicine in 1957, and the Golden Brain Award in 1984. Additionally, Erna L Gibbs was named the "Woman of the Year" in 1958 by the American Women's Association for her "brilliant" and "comprehensive" studies.[2].
Erna Leondhart Gibbs died in her home in 1987, at the age of 81.
