PREFACE The University of Manitoba Symposium on Pupillometry was held in Winnipeg, Manitoba, October 17-19, 1973. The seed of the idea was planted in 1967 when Raymond Daly of the University of Windsor first interested me in the utility of the pupil as a dependent measure in psychology. From that time on I have read as much as possible about the pupil and in late 1971 it occurred to me that it might be a good idea to bring together those pupillary investigators whose research had the greatest impression upon me. This book is one of happier consequences of the Symposium. The guiding principle behind the selection of participants was a blend of three considerations: (1) long standing research or scholarly interest in problems associated with the eye and the pupil; (2) outstanding respect of the participant by his colleagues involved in pupillometric research; and (3) significant contributions to the learned literature. In due course, nine scientists were contacted and asked to make the trek to Winnipeg. They were encouraged not to report data on one, or few studies, as is typically done at meetings and conventions, but rather to review the findings and theoretical controversies of their specialty area with especial relevance to their own contributions to the fiel~. It was felt that because of the stature of these scholars much more could be gained from their own evaluations of this area and their work, than from the somewhat restricting format of data presentation. They were also encouraged to speculate about what future pupillometric research might have in store for us. With minor variations, this was accomplished and the fruits of their labors are presented in this volume. Regrettably two of the invited participants, Irene E. Loewenfeld, Ph.D. and Daniel Kahneman, Ph.D. were forced to withdraw at the last minute. Their presence was missed, but their absence was unavoidable. The Symposium participants (with
