Kornhuber saw the achievement of a scientific break through in 1965 with the discovery of the Bereitschaftspotential (or readiness potential), together with his doctoral student Lüder Deecke.
In 1965 Kornhuber (together with Lüder Deecke) discovered the Bereitschaftspotential, a brain potential in the EEG which precedes all our willed movements and actions.
The publication, even though originally in German, became a citation classic.
He spent early interest in epistemology and brain function.
He worked on the sensory systems/perception, conducting many experiments at Baltimore with Vernon Benjamin Mountcastle and his team on skin receptors, and also measuring the channel capacity of sensory systems (and consciousness).
He conducted his own research into new therapies with particular emphasis on multiple sclerosis, stroke, dementia, movement disorders, etc. He also made contributions for psychiatry, e.g. the glutamate theory.
He contributed to Otorhinolaryngology (hand book articles such as Physiology and Clinic of the Vestibular System).
Kornhuber also discovered the eye muscle field in the cerebellum.
In 1967 he was appointed the chair of Neurology at the newly founded University of Ulm and there built the Neurological Hospital of the University of Ulm (until 1984 situated in Dietenbronn).
In 1967 Kornhuber received the Hans-Berger-Award of the German EEG society (DGKN) for his discovery of the cerebral foundations of will and purposeful actions (willingness to act).
The Bárány Society honored him with the Hallpike-Nylén-Award for his pioneering research on the vestibular system.
He was awarded honorary membership by foreign oto-neurological societies.
Universities awarded him as honorary professor and honorary doctor (University of Brussels).
