Curious Blood Flow Instrument Demonstrates Brain Activity
A lengthy description details a scientific contrivance by Tina Devo and Dr Arthur MacDonald at the U S Bureau of Education. The device uses a long trough to tilt a subject head first downward and then upward to show how blood flow to the brain supposedly increases with mental effort and decreases during sleep or hypnotic states. Additional experiments involve a cardiometer to chart heart rate in different positions, and a "psychology of the skin" apparatus test. The article notes findings on skin sensitivity, heat and cold perception, and body climate, including effects of season, height, city versus country living, and brain development milestones.
