SEEING FEELING.
PHOTOGRAPHIC MARVEL. WIRELESS AIDS. LONDON, March 28. Experimenting with a throe-valve wireless receiver amplifying signals 2000-fold, the lecturer in advanced physiology at Cambridge University, Professor E. D. Adrian, has evolved an instrument for photographically recording .messages travelling along the nerve centres to the human brain in the form of dots and dashes. Professor Adrian explains that, if the skin is pricked, each connecting nerve fibre transmits a message to the brain in a series of small electric oscillations, which it was impossible to detect before the use of wireless. That cinemas and radio hypnotise tho people is the theory of Dr. Newsholme, Croydon’s medical officer. “As a person watches a film in the darkness, with others concentrating on the same lighted object or listens to radio, impressions for good or evil sink into the sub-conscious mind, strongly influencing the character,’’ he declares.
