A native of South Africa, Dr. Peter Kellaway (1921-2003) was a professor of neurology and neuroscience at Baylor College of Medicine, where he served on the faculty for fifty-five years. Kellaway was considered a pioneering clinical neurophysiologist in the field of pediatric epilepsy. He was called by the prosecution at the Jack Ruby trial to testify on March 11, 1964 and had studied Ruby's electroencephalogram (EEG) charts. He stated that an EEG is "a diagnostic aid" and not "a diagnosis," and he disagreed with the defense expert's interpretation of the Ruby charts. Kellaway testified that while slow waves on Ruby's charts show some abnormality, he characterized it dismissively as "slow activity" and found no evidence that Ruby suffered from psychomotor epilepsy. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
