...long as the longest estimated Apollo mission to the moon will take. They will have flown the heaviest (more than four tons) Gemini capsule yet, and undergone the most extensive in-flight medical tests. (Borman had two spots shaved on his head and depilatory rubbed in to accommodate electroencephalograph sensors with which his brain waves were to be monitored.) The Gemini 7 crew will be the first to fly in their long underwear without benefit of space suits. A successful rendezvous to within inches of another Gemini craft 185 mi. from earth, the most spectacular phase of the mission, would...
Seized by Carols. Working with a team of acoustical engineers, Wisconsin's Dr. Francis M. Forster and his colleagues determined just what songs, just what instruments, just what rhythms caused Morton to have an epileptic seizure. Hooked up to an electroencephalograph, their patient listened to music with one ear, with the other, and then with both. He listened to a random noise generator with one ear while music was piped to the other. Stardust played on the organ produced no abnormalities; Glenn Miller's orchestrated version touched off fits. Hymns and Christmas carols played by an orchestra...
...small bits of bone to serve as supports, and suspends the brain in an apparatus of tubes and rods. Its blood vessels are hitched to a small heart-lung machine, and fresh blood is supplied from a monkey blood bank. Delicate needles stuck in its surface al low an electroencephalograph to measure the electrical activity by which all brains do their work...
...signals from the nonhearing organs for transmission to the brain. What is clear is that Glenn's hearing is unimpaired, but when he moves his head, his brain receives garbled signals from his damaged organs of equilibrium. X rays do not show any bone fracture, and the electroencephalograph shows no brain damage...
...Ruby case. Henry Wade had three topnotch medical experts of his own waiting to present rebuttal testimony. They were Neurologists Francis Forster of the University of Wisconsin, Roland Mackay of Northwestern Medical School, and Robert S. Schwab of the Harvard Medical School. Each testified that Ruby's electroencephalograph charts proved no markedly serious ailment in the defendant. When Forster was asked if the graphs supported a diagnosis of psychomotor epilepsy, he retorted: "They would...
