WATCHING THE BRAIN WORK
IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.) (Recd. December 3, 9.30 a.m.) LONDON, December 1. A preliminary revelation of a discovery by which doctors'will be enabled to watch the brain at work, was made by Sir Gowland Hopkins, in an anniversary address to the Royal Society. Two Cambridge scientists, Professor E. D. Adrian, and Mr Brian Matthews, have made discoveries which Sir G. Hopkins believes will have far-reach-ing possibilities, enabling brain specialists to develop diagnosis by electrical records made through the skull. Mr Adrian’s special aim has been to relate electrical changes which can be recorded from the brain’s surface with changes in individual nerve cells. It is fascinating to see these rythmic activities of the human brain recorded as a series of waves in graphic record, after passing through the skull.
