Eye Movement Camera
notes: label: Description
content: The Lifwynn Foundation was an experimental community established in Westport, Ct. in 1927, with the aim of studying society's methods of feeling-expression. The founders were Trigant Burrow (1875-1950), an American physician much interested in psychiatry, and Hans Syz (1895-1991), a Swiss psychiatrist who moved to the United States in 1921. This eye movement camera was built by Henry Roger (1891-1982), a German biophysicist who moved to the United States in 1923, and later established a laboratory in Sandy Hook, Ct. Dr. Charles Robinson assisted in this project.
