When seen from an outsider's vantage point, the development of
knowledge in the sensory sciences must appear massive and the
result of some carefully followed master plan. In reality, it is
the result of numerous relatively independent human endeavors
shaped by application of the scientific method. The comprehensive
construction of quantitative theories of sense organ function has
occurred only recently -but at an explosive rate prefaced by
centuries of expansion in the physical sciences. Predicated on this
growth, the twentieth century may become known as the age of the
biological sciences. With the exception of a modest number of
intellectual giants, there were few contributors to the foundations
of the sensory sciences before the dawn of this century. At least
90% of existing knowledge has been produced by scientists working
in laboratories founded since 1920. If any single scientist and his
laboratory may be identified with the growth in the sensory
sciences, it is EDGAR DOUGLAS ADRIAN, First Baron of Cambridge and
leader of the Physiological Laboratory at Cambridge University,
England. Lord ADRIAN'S influence upon the sensory sciences was
great, not only in terms of his contribution to knowledge itself
but also through the influence which he exerted upon numerous young
scientists who spent weeks or years at the Cambridge laboratory and
who later returned to their homelands and colleagues with the seeds
of vigorous research and quantitative inquiry firmly implanted.
