Emanuel Donchin is recognized among Jewish contributors to Philosophy & Social Sciences — Cognitive psychophysiologist known for research on event-related brain potentials
Born in Tel Aviv and educated at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Donchin became a founder of cognitive psychophysiology in the United States. At the University of Illinois he pioneered the study of event-related brain potentials, and his work on the P300 wave — proposing it as an index of 'context updating' in working memory — became a cornerstone of the field and an early basis for brain–computer interfaces. He is documented as of Jewish Israeli origin.
