Transcript | RESEARCH Dr. Richard I. Evans, at right, interviews Dr. Erich Fromm, world renowned psychologist, in (iucrnavaca, Mexico. Projects Range From Bananas to Brains back on changes in the brain under various conditions of psychological stimulation. His work is also under the auspices of the National Science foundation. Thermochromic and photochromic compounds are the subjects of Dr. Becker's work. These are compounds that change color as the heat and light intensity varies. Dr. Becker is attempting to find the mechanism that causes the compounds to change color. Eventually, he hopes to be able to theorize what molecules will be what color. The project is sponsored by the U. S. Air Force. Dr. Freebairn is studying the mechanisms of control of plant respiration and ripening processes. Once these mechanisms are understood, attempts will be made to slow the ripening processes. A large part of the work has been done with banana plants, although other fruits and vegetables have also been studied. The National Banana Association and Whirlpool Corporation are sponsors of the project. 3 % zl * % &1 *'} ° ■ m Richard Miller, psychology graduate student, works with the computer noting changes in the brain under periods of stimulation. 33 |
