EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph, we are transported back to the early 1900s where innovation and scientific curiosity knew no bounds. The image captures a woman seated in what appears to be a living room, but her head is attached to an extraordinary machine that resembles a giant hairdryer. However, upon closer inspection, we learn that it is actually a Lavery Electric Automatic Phrenometer - a device designed for measuring brain activity. The woman's expression remains calm as she becomes part of this bizarre invention. It is as if she has willingly surrendered herself to the pursuit of knowledge and understanding. The contrast between her serene demeanor and the complex machinery surrounding her creates an eerie yet captivating atmosphere. This portrait not only showcases the advancements in science and technology during that era but also challenges traditional gender roles by featuring a female at the forefront of scientific exploration. Her presence serves as a reminder that women have always played significant roles in pushing boundaries and breaking barriers. As we gaze upon this archival print, we cannot help but marvel at how far science has come since then. Yet it also leaves us pondering about the mysteries of our own minds and how much more there is left to discover about ourselves through innovative inventions like this one.
