A STUDY IN MOLECULAR SENSATION.

Abstract

The hypothesis is posed that organic sensation is provided by shifting the probability of transition of electrons from excited states to the ground state in organic molecules. Also hypothesized is that the action potentials observed are metabolic artifacts and not carriers of sensory signals. A description of applicable theory and two experiments are presented, as well as a few abstracted corollary remarks from the literature. (Author)
