The same guy who discovered the rock! ick!

Seriously though, if you're asking who decided that the brain was what made you think, I think Freud pioneered that. But, they still discover what various parts of the brain do every year.

I think it all started in earnest with Phrenology in the 1800s. People though the bumps on your head could tell what kind of person you were. Google it!
