Footnotes
"Müller introduced a new era of biological research in Germany and pioneered the use of experimental methods in medicine" (DSB), his first major work, Zur vergleichenden Physiologie, "attracting the attention of the scientific world", in particular to his "law of specific nerve energies. His Ueber die phantastischen Gesichtersercheinungen further investigates nerve energies, demonstrating that "optical perceptions can arise without an adequate external stimulus... the result - depending on the situation - is the reporting of religious or magical visions, or the seeing of ghosts" (DSB).
