Experiments on Henry Head, 1903 - 1907
Index to 'The Case of H. H. and His Arm'
The indexed term 'acuaesthesia' (relating to sensation at particular points) is defined in the letter WHRivers/2/3/3 within this collection.

Letter to Rivers from C. S. Myers with thanks for sending the 'Lancet' paper and commenting on it, 1917-08-02
Myers praises Rivers for his work, but goes on to try to convince Rivers that hypnosis can be used effectively to reveal repressed memories (something Rivers is against).
'Mechanism in Nerve Centers', 1930
This is framed as a rebuttal of Professor Alexander Forbes. Forbes wrote a letter which appeared in 'Nature' for 14th December 1929 refuting the arguments MacCurdy made in criticism of the mechanistic interpretation of reflex functions. MacCurdy here therefore justifies his own position and gives further detail to support his view about 'vicarious functions' and the central nervous system. This hinges on the definition of the term 'automatic'.
On the connexion between the rate of stimulation and the number of shocks needful to produce a reflex action, 190710
This collection of notes includes a description of an experiment, a diagram as well as a photograph of some apparatus and a graph representing data. A scrap of data print-out included in this collection has the name 'H. Head' (Henry Head) written on the back with the date, October 1907. This suggests a connection with the experiment carried out by W. H. R. Rivers on Head's arm.
