Abstract

S OME years ago we were startled to find a young engineer of our acquaintance reading a textbook on Neuroanatomy. He explained that he had an assignment to devise a "simple" electronic setup with about 1000 cells to simulate one of the countless memory circuits in the human brain. Now we learn from an article in the April 1958 issue of THE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL BULLETIN of an electronic aviation specialist, at present in Lund, Sweden, who at one time was interested in electronic language translators and who recently has turned his attention to word-blindness. The author, MAGOROH MARUYAMA, has acquainted himself with the work of Dr. Knud Hermann and his group in Copenhagen and he has devised a test for the visual factors in word-blindness which is being tried at the Institute for Word-Blindness there. He also shows familiarity with the work of Dr. Gallagher, Mrs. de Hirsch and Miss Gillingham in this country.
