Helmholtz (1821--1894)made significant contributions to the study of vision and perception and was also influential in thepainting  music  and literature of the time; one of his major works analyzed tone in music. Thisbook  the first in English to describe Helmholtzs life and work in detail  describes his scientificstudies  analyzes them in the context of the science and philosophy of the period -- in particularthe German Naturphilosophie -- and gauges his influence on todaysneuroscience. Helmholtz  trained by Johannes Mller  one of the best physiologistsof his time  used a resolutely materialistic and empirical scientific method in his research. Hiswork  eclipsed at the beginning of the twentieth century by new ideas in neurophysiology  hasrecently been rediscovered. We can now recognize in Helmholtzs methods -- which were based on hisbelief in the interconnectedness of physiology and psychology -- the origins ofneuroscience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67923501776949,"sku":"ByrdShop_0262014483","price":99.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780262014489.jpg?v=1794106254","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/helmholtz-from-enlightenment-to-neuroscience-9780262014489","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
