Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book from the early 20th century is the result of years of scientific work by the author. Using a newly-invented apparatus of his own design, he was able to detect that a chemical reaction was correlated with the passage of an impulse along a living nerve fiber. His discovery challenged prevailing ideas about the properties of nerve fibers and the nature of irritability in nerves. The author demonstrates that carbon dioxide production is the measurable sign of life and an indirect indicator of psychism. This discovery opened the door to further investigation of the chemical nature of nerve activity and its potential relationship to consciousness.
