Abstract
Breathing oxygen from a mask or a reduction in the blood flow through the head produced definite but temporary changes in directional hearing. Similar results were found for directional hearing and for analogous phenomena in other senseorgans, such as vibratory sensations on the skin, heat sensations, and taste. Both the administration of oxygen and the reduction of the blood flow decrease the speed of nerve transmission and lengthen the reaction times.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
