The Helmholtz Curves: Tracing Lost Time (Forms of Living)

by Henning Schmidgen (Author), Nils F. Schott (Author)

Synopsis

In 1850, Hermann von Helmholtz conducted path breaking experiments on the propagation speed of the nervous impulse. This book reconstructs the cultural history of these experiments by focusing on Helmholtz's use of the "graphic method" and the subsequent use of his term "lost time" by Marcel Proust.
