The ACNS Awards Committee, chaired by Saurabh R. Sinha, MD, FACNS, is pleased to announce the following recipients of the 2025 ACNS Awards:
Herbert H. Jasper Award
Patrick Y. Chauvel, MD 
The Herbert H. Jasper Award is presented annually to an individual who has made a lifetime of outstanding contributions to the field of clinical neurophysiology. Patric Chauvel, MD is a Professor in the Department of Neurology at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Chauvel’s research work has been devoted to the pathophysiology of the epileptogenic zone, emergence of seizure clinical semiology, and cerebral cortex physiology. He has promoted the concept of epileptogenic network over the classical epileptic focus idea and opened new vistas in markers of the epileptogenic zone and semiology of frontal epilepsies.
Dr. Chauvel will be recognized and will deliver the 2025 Jasper Lecture on Thursday, February 27, 2025, during the Annual Meeting & Courses.
Pierre Gloor Award
Lawrence J. Hirsch, MD, FAAN, FACNS, FANA, FAES 
The Pierre Gloor Award is presented annually for outstanding current contributions to central clinical neurophysiology research.
Lawrence J. Hirsch, MD, FAAN, FACNS, FANA, FAES is Professor of Neurology, Academic Chief of the Division of Epilepsy and EEG, and Director of the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, all at Yale University. He has held leadership positions in the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society (ACNS), American Epilepsy Society, American Academy of Neurology, and the Epilepsy Foundation. He is lead author of the 2012 and 2021 ACNS guidelines on critical care EEG terminology and senior author of the ACNS guideline on Critical Care EEG Monitoring.
Dr. Hirsch will be recognized and deliver the Pierre Gloor Lecture on Saturday, March 1, 2025, during the Annual Meeting & Courses.
Robert S. Schwab Award
Janice Massey, MD 
The Robert S. Schwab Award is presented annually for outstanding current contributions to peripheral clinical neurophysiology research.
Janice Massey, MD is a Professor of Neurology and Senior Vice Chair of the Duke Neurology Department with specific expertise in neuromuscular junction disorders, such as myasthenia gravis and Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome.
