N2 - In his spiral of the history of sensation and perception, Edwin Boring (1889–1968; 1942) commenced with Johannes Kepler (1571–1630) and concluded with Raymond Dodge (1871–1942); they are all shown in Fig. 1. Another implicit feature of Boring’s spiral is that one sense – vision – dominated all the others. Accordingly, it is little surprise that his book was dedicated to Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz (1821–1874) – a towering figure in the history of vision. A preoccupation with the sense of sight was evident throughout the period surveyed by Boring and it remains so to this day.
