These oscillations are undoubtedly associated with the separate responses of the nerves. The shape of the oscillations depend on the intensity of light and also upon the color of light.

It pretty well interrupted the plot of the cinema and threw the action up on the bony heights of a rising skyscraper.

He is also responsible for an important study of musical acoustics, the significance of which led the French government to commend him and recommend his pursuance of the subject...
