If the temperature of the water was really responsible, then water at exactly body temperature should cause neither nystagmus nor vertigo.

Because of my earlier research, I did not doubt for a second that the nystagmus was the result of a reflex action of the semi-circular canals.

The investigations also proved that there were many cases of spontaneous deviation, i.e. cases where there had been no stimulation of the semi-circular canal apparatus.

In vertebrates we find that the muscular apparatus of the body is very different in different classes of animal.

To raise the general cultural level of mankind by promoting scientific work lay very close to the heart of Alfred Nobel.

The incorrectness and weaknesses of a theory cause other minds to formulate the problems more exactly and in this way scientific progress is made.

As neither of these two great research scientists was able to find the solution to the mystery, it is small wonder that none of their contemporaries were able to do so either.

The interpretation of facts in a certain way stimulates other scientists' thoughts.

One can, therefore, say with confidence (1) that localization in this spot is correct, and (2) that the experiment can be used on a large scale without any danger to the patient.
