A device by means of which The
brain rings warning bell as soor
as man begins to get dangerously
tired was one of the war inventions
of German brain surgeons.
Existence of this instrument has
just been reported to the surgeon
generals Office by Maj Leo Alex
ander, in civilian life one of the
foremost American neurologists
who investigated the research work
at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for
Brain Research
Director of this project was DR.
E. A. Kornmuller, long known as
one of the worlds greatest brain ex-
perts. The device was intended
specifically to warn airplane pilots
when they were overstepping their
normal endurance. DR.. Alexander
says it has promising potentialities
OF great practical usefulness"
Size of Cigar Box.
The apparatus, he reports, is
about the size of a small cigar box
and is so light that it can be worn
on the head with little discomfort.
Throughout the war, DR.. Korn-
muller had been studying the elec-
trical patterns of brain activity as
shown by brain waves. He found
that there was distinct variation
from the normal as soldier de-
veloped combat fatigue"
The electrical pattern of any ac-
tive brain is complex. DR.. Korn-
muller has invented an analyzer
which isolates those features which
vary from the normal. When Dr.
alexander examined it he told the
German that it was decidedly in
ferior to similar device used by
American doctors.
Germans Pride Hurt.
The German doctors pride seemed
hurt, DR.. Alexander reports, and he
explained he was not interested in
recording a brain wave spectrum
for research purposes but only in a
very practical device for warning
the individual soldier in time to
avoid a nervous breakdown.
He had set up a laboratory in a
small village which at the end of
the war had been occupied by Rus
sian troops. Here, DR.. Kornmuller
said, the apparatus could be found
DR.. Alexander notified Red Army
authorities who showed great inter
est and said they would order the
model seized at once. No report has
been received from them up to the
present.
Says DR.. Alexander: DIR. Korn-
muller thought that this apparatus
could be used as means of auto
matte signaling of dangerous low
frequencies, that is, of changes in
tthe brains electrical activities
caused by lack of oxygen, fatigue or
sleep in pilots of aircraft or drivers
OF automobiles. The device is set
to signal all brain wave frequencies
lower than eight per second and is
SO designed that it will never re-
spond to any higher frequencies.
This is, indeed, an ingenious de-
vice of wide applicability. In large
bombing aircraft, for instance, a

signaling device could be installed
on the instrument board which
would inform the pilot whether any
member of his crew was falling
asleep or suffering from lack of
oxygen.
"On the other hand, in peacetime,
the apparatus could be used to pre-
vent the driver of an automobile on
a long country run from hav-
ing serious accident due to falling
asleep at the wheel. AS soon as the
brain waves slowed down at the
approach of sleep, the apparatus
could set off an alarm system which
would wake him up"
