Physiological
Trends Aired
Von Brucke Shows
Sense Adaptations
To Environment
In his Inst of two speeches at
Oregon Dr. Ernest von Brucke,
Austrian physiologist, spoke to
a faculty lecture series audience
in Friendly hall Wednesday eve
ning about physiological tenden
cies to stabiliz'e our environment.
Dr. von Brucke explained the
adaptation of the different sense
organs to the environment by
slides and illustrations.
“Sensations of the skin, eyes,
and the ears adapt very quickly to
changes in the environment,” he
said. However, he remarked that
if a pain receptor is irritated the
same pain goes on without ceas
ing.
“Renaissance artists were espe
cially proud of their discovery of
the law of perspective,” re
marked Dr. von Brucke.
“Although it is a sophisticated
way to draw, it is not the way
that we really see,” he said.
Dr. von Brucke showed Mon
taigne’s “Body of Christ” as be
ing a good illustration of what
our eyes really see without really
being adapted to what they are
supposed to see, or what a photo
graph would seem to be.
