In June 1917, Penfield married Helen Kermott, with whom he had fallen in love when they were both in their mid-teens. She was a girl from his hometown of Hudson, Wisconsin, whose father and grandfather were both doctors.
While operating on epileptic patients, Penfield applied electric currents to the surface of patients brains in order to find problem areas. Since the patients were awake during the operations, they could tell Penfield what they were experiencing. Probing some areas triggered whole memory sequences.
During his life he was called the greatest living Canadian. He devoted much thinking to the mystery of the mind, and continued until his death in 1976 to contemplate and question whether there is a scientific basis for the existence of the human soul.
The procedure enabled surgeons to operate on the brains of epileptic patients and destroy the cells where seizures originated. The doctors used local anesthetics so they could stimulate parts of the brain using electricity, and the patients could describe the sensations that were triggered by that stimulation.
He located the accumulated store of memory of past events and the emotions, sensations, and thoughts to which the events had given rise. Penfield developed a new surgical approach that became known as the Montreal Procedure. He developed his method while his patients were awake and able to interact with him.

Before an epileptic seizure, he knew, patients experience an aura, a warning that the seizure is about to occur. Penfield thought if he could provoke this aura with a mild electric current on the brain, then he would have located the source of the seizure activity and could remove or destroy that bit of tissue.
Penfield developed the method, called the Montreal Procedure, in the 1930s. It helped him pinpoint the source of the seizure in the brain so he could remove it, and relieve patients of debilitating attacks.
Wilder Graves Penfield OM CC CMG FRS (January 26, 1891 April 5, 1976) was an American-Canadian neurosurgeon. He expanded brain surgerys methods and techniques, including mapping the functions of various regions of the brain such as the cortical homunculus.
