For many patients we can discover – or discount – physical causes of neurological problems ‘in real time’ with a range of imaging and other measurement techniques. Though these techniques are mainly children of the 20th Century, and their development is ongoing in the 21st, their roots stretch back through 19th century. For example, photography and its ability to reproduce an enduring ‘objective’…
