About this work

Description

A compilation of short pre-operative and post-operative neurological films featuring adults and children displaying a range of different physiological movements from gross activities such as walking, standing and sitting to finer activities such as creating facial expressions and maniuplating objects. The films may have been made during Bates' time at the Neurological Research Unit at the National Hospital for Nervous Diseases. Contains extremely sensitive material throughout including scenes containing patient nudity.

Notes

In April 2009 these individual patient films were compiled onto a film reel. Patient names have been removed.
John A.V. Bates was born in 1918 and died in 1993. He studied at Pembroke College, Cambridge and underwent his clinical training at University College Hospital, London. In 1946 he was part of the External Scientific Staff of the Medical Research Council based at the Neurological Research Unit at the National Hospital for Nervous Diseases, London, where he worked until he retired in 1978. Much of Bates' research work was in the field of neurophysiology where he coined the term 'voluntary movement.' He was the founder of the Ratio Club, a group of young physiologists, mathematicians and engineers who met to discuss cybernetics. Bates was a member of the Physiological Society from 1949, a member of the Electroencephalography Society (now the British Society for Clinical Neurophysiology), serving as President between 1976-8 and the Association of British Neurologists.
