HANS-LUKAS TEUBER
August 7, 1916—January 4, 1977
BY LEO M. HURVICH,
DOROTHEA JAMESON,
AND WALTER A. ROSENBLITH
ON W E D N E S D A Y. January 19, 1977, Hans-Lukas Teuber
was scheclulect to deliver a lames R. Killian Faculty
Award Lecture entities! "Mooct, Motives, Memory and Val-
ues."~ Instead there assembled in the Kresge Auditorium of
MIT a memorial gathering of family, colleagues, students,
and friends to remember anc! share recollections of this ex-
traorctinary person. They were there to express their a~ec-
tion, admiration, and love for him, and to assuage the grief
prompted by his untimely and unexpected death at the age
of sixty. Professor Teuber—or Luke, as he was known to his
many friends lost his life on January 4 while swimming oh
Virgin Gorcia in the British Virgin Islands where he was va-
cationing with his wife Marianne. He had been at MTT since
1961 and in 1964 hack founcled the Department of Psychol-
ogy and was appointed its first head. Within a few years the
department hack grown into a center of psychology and the
brain sciences that came to be known and admired the world
over.
Only a man of his brilliance, scholarly acumen, and warm
personal qualities could have accomplished such a feat in one

decade. A magnetic human being summarized once in the
phrase of a ten-year-oIcl child of a colleague: "He twin-
kles"2 Luke was a gifted experimenter, teacher, anc! admin-
istrator. Above all, throughout his busy professional life, he
expressed a warmth for people: gentleness, consideration,
ancT concern for others. His colleague Professor Nauta said
of him: "Luke was that rare person, describecT by Camus, as
the true poet who would have no choice at all but to make
poetry even in the desert."3 Whence came this magical,
"highly improbable and very lovable man," as he was cle-
scribe<1 by a brilliant young colleague, Ann Graybiel.4
Hans-Lukas Teuber was born August 7, 1916, in Berlin,
the son of Dr. Eugen Teuber and Rose Knopf Teuber. His
parents were exceedingly musical—both were excellent pi-
anists—ant} his younger brother became an organist and mu-
sic historian. His father, who was his greatest single influence
during Luke's early years, had studied uncler Wilhelm Wundt
ant] Car] Stumpf; uncler the sponsorship of the Prussian
Academy of Sciences, he set up a primate station on Tenerife
(Canary Islancis) for the study of anthropoid apes. (While
there, Eugen Teuber also collected folk melodies for
Stumpf's "Tonarchiv.") In early 1914 he returned to Ger-
many to serve as a communications officer during World War
I. After a brief period during which they overIappecl at Te-
nerife, Wolfgang KohIer took over the direction of the station
from Luke's father anct went on to conduct the famous chim-
panzee experiments that he (lescribecl in The Mentality of Apes.
After the war, Luke's father became interested in calculating
crevices ant! joined a business machine firm callect Actrema,
first as director of research and later as director of exports.

In 1938 Lukas's parents and brother moved to Denmark; he
continuer} his studies at the University of Baste in Switzer-
lancI, where he was a student from 1935 to 1939.
Lukas spent his youth with the family partly on the Baltic
and partly in Berlin. His first schooling was in a private pre-
paratory school in Berlin, and he subsequently attended the
College Frances (a Huguenot school) in Berlin for eight
years, graduating in 1934 with a baccalaureat. His classical
education emphasized the humanities Latin, Greek, and
ancient history and all subjects, including the natural sci-
ences, were taught in French. Lukas shared his father's ctis-
parate interests in Greek and Roman literature, the compar-
ative study of animal behavior, ant! the application of math-
ematics to problems of communication. They took Tong hikes
together, first into the Harz Mountains and later in the Alps.
Lukas's oIcler son Andreas documentect the influence of his
father's classical education when he told us at the memorial
convocation: "I remember . . . when ~ was four years old, he
thought it wouIct be splendid if T heard Antigone by Sopho-
cles hard enough for a four-year-old except that my fa-
ther thought ~ would not truly appreciate it unless he read it
to me in Greek. And so there ~ was, four years old—~ hac]
this tedcly bear—ant! ~ sat there and listened to Sophocles in
Greek."5 (The going was not always that rough for Ancireas
ant! his younger brother Christopher. Although the English
translations of the Greek myths ant! the recounting of the
entire Odyssey were part of their bedtime fare, so were Dr.
DoolittIe and Winnie the Pooh.)
Lukas wrote poetry and plays in his youth and had con-
templated a career as a poet. In later years, he continued to
write occasional verse (he often quoted relevant poetry in his
lectures), but while he was at the University of Basle, philos-

ophy became his primary interest particularly, philosophy
of science. His early interest in the comparative study of be-
havior continuccI, and he took courses and received labora-
tory training in biology ant! zoology, comparative anatomy,
and embryology. His teacher in physical chemistry was Pro-
fessor Bernoulli, anct he worked with Professor Portman in
the Zoological Institute. Hans Spemann, who came from
nearby Freiburg to lecture on embryology, was still another
influence. And it was here that Lukas's interest in problems
of central nervous system physiology was first engaged.
An important aspect of Lukas's Baste years was the small
interclisciplinary workshop in which he participates! with sev-
eral young instructors and fellow students. One of the latter
was Marianne Liepe. Discussions at the workshop focuses! on
the methoclologies of the diverse sciences and ways to bridge
the gap between the biological anct social sciences. But the
intellectual interests of the group ranged wicle. At one time
the group react Dante's Divina Commeclia and works such as
Bachofen's Mutterrecht unc! Urreligion the sort of book that
later lect Robert Graves to extol matriarchal societies.
On receiving the Holtzer Fellowship at Harvard in 1939,
Lukas prepared to come to the Unitect States, but the out-
break of World War II delayoc! his arrival here until 1941.
Marianne Liepe had come to the United States two years ear-
lier to study at Vassar College, and she and L.ukas were mar-
ried in 1941. Marianne's background was similar to Lukas's
in many ways. Her parents were Wolfgang and Gertrud
(Neustadt) Liepe. Her father tract been chairman of the De-
partment of German Literature at the University of Kie} in
Germany ancT later became a professor at the University of
Chicago. The Teubers's two sons, Andreas Wolfgang and
Christopher Lawrence, were born in 1942 and 1946. An-
clreas is now an associate professor of philosophy at Brancleis
University and Christopher is a structural designer in Venice,

California. The Teubers became naturalized American citi-
zens in 1944. In recent years Marianne has devoted more of
her intellectual energies to her contributions to art history,
particularly the Bauhaus periocl; but throughout l.ukas's ca-
reer, she was an integral part of the international intellectual
life that movecT freely and hospitably from his laboratory or
seminar room to their home.
Teuber received his Ph.D. in psychology from Harvard
University in 1947. His graduate training at Harvard and
research at the Cabot Foundation in Cambridge were inter-
rupted by two years of service in the U. S. Naval Reserve from
1944 to 1946. According to a perhaps apocryphal story, Lu-
kas at first failect the mandatory German language exami-
nation at Harvard because, as a recent arrival to the United
States, he clid not know enough English into which to trans-
late the German text. His Navy stint, however, and a part-
time position as assistant boys secretary at the Cambridge
YMCA while he was a Harvard graduate student acceleratect
his Americanization. He eventually acquired a superb com-
manct of the English language, and throughout his academic
career his rapt audiences enjoyed his eloquence and gentle
humor.
During his stay at Harvard, Lukas's interests were ctiviclecl
between the physiology of sensation and the application of
experimental methods to the study of small social groups.
His appointment to the research staff of the Cabot Founcia-
tion turned him temporarily in the direction of experimental
sociology and lecl to his cloctoral dissertation "Dyaclic
Groups A Study in Counseling Relationships" under
Gordon Aliport's sponsorship. This study was part of a ten-
year experiment in the "prevention of delinquency" by pro-
vicling guidance, counseling, ancT psychotherapy to 325
underprivileged boys. Treatment consisted of intensive, face-
to-face interactions between the boys and some thirty coun-

466
BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS
sellors; these counsellors saw the boys at weekly to monthly
intervals for periods ranging frozen two-and-a-half to eight
years. A control group of 325 similarly unclerprivilege(1
boys- matched in pairs with the members of the treatment
group but left entirely untreated was also set up at the be-
ginning of the experiment.
The importance of control groups to evaluate such social
intervention programs was borne out by the outcome. Ten
years after the start of the experiment and after all treatment
had been terminated, the research staff compared the inci-
clence of delinquency between the treater! and control
groups. Even though all but one of the counsellors thought
their treatment efforts highly successful, the frequency of
offenses turned out to be slightly higher in the treatment
group. The use of large matched control groups was to be a
dominant feature of Teuber's later research on brain-
clamaged patients.
After his cleath, an autobiographical sketch that Lukas
had preparer! in either 1952 or 1953 was flounce among his
papers. In summarizing his career to that point, he wrote:
My original biological interests had been fostered at Harvard through
contacts with Lashley, and through avid reading of the work of {. W. Gibbs,
L. I. Henderson, and W. B. Cannon. The possibility that the logic of Gibbs-
ian systems (set up for physical chemistry) might be equally applicable to
biological and social systems, was considered more and more seriously.
A more direct influence was that of Kurt Goldstein, who at that time
(1941) was Visiting Professor and William James lecturer at Harvard. Fre-
quent personal contacts made me aware of the strategic role of experi-
mental neurology within the framework of general biological science, and
suggested a reconsideration of the earlier German work (Bethe, Uexkull,
Weiss) in comparative physiology of nervous systems and problems of sen-
sorimotor integration.
The final and decisive push in the direction of my chosen field was
provided almost fortuitously by a two-year period in the U.S. Navy. In
1944, I arrived at the San Diego Naval Hospital where Dr. M. B. Bender
OCR for page 467
HANS-LUKAS TEUBER
467
was in charge of the neurology wards. He was interested in studying pe-
ripheral nerve injuries, causalgia, and sensory disturbances after cerebral
injury. Hearing of my acquaintance with Goldstein's work, he suggested
that I stay with him at the Naval Hospital. An improvised laboratory was
set up early in 1945, and men with acute battle injuries of the nervous
system were studied by us for nearly two years. The unique opportunity
of observing effects of acute brain injuries resulted in a number of joint
papers . . . In these papers, we tried to continue the tradition of Goldstein
and Gelb, of Poppelreuter, of Head and Holmes, considering the injuries
as experiments of nature and studying the disturbances of brain function
as a clue to normal modes of central nervous functioning.
.
This type of research was to remain a consuming interest
of Luke's until the end. Dr. Weiskrantz, an Oxford colleague
and friend, has written: "He contributed a unique and clis-
tinctive personal approach to a tradition that had its roots in
19th century neurology."6
Following his discharge from the Navy and completion of
his graduate work at Harvard, Lukas went to the New York
University College of Medicine. Under the sponsorship of
Bender and S. B. Wortis, he built up a small laboratory to
.
continue studying the effects of penetrating brain injuries.
Successively he was appointed research associate in the Col-
lege of Medicine and in the Department of Psychology in the
Graduate School of Arts and Science, associate professor, and
professor. Throughout this perioc! he heaclect the Psycho-
physiological laboratory at the NYU Bellevue Medical Cen-
ter and with his colleagues and students establishect that lab-
oratory as a vital and creative research center that attracted
international attention. Teuber's research collaborators clur-
ing these years inclucled Josephine Semmes, Lila Ghent, Rita
Rudel, Sidney Weinstein, William Battersby, Joseph Altman,
Mortimer Mishkin, Stephan Chorover, Florry Proctor, and
others.

BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS
Although his teaching at NYU was primarily in special-
ized courses such as neuroanatomy and physiological psy-
chology, Teuber's interctisciplinary interests persisted. He
also taught a course on the social psychology of small groups
and became a member of the Macy Foundation multidisci-
plinary group. This group held a series of conferences in an
area that became known after the title of Norbert Wiener's
book—as cybernetics; the discussions clealt with feedback
theory anct communication theory and their possible rele-
vance to the study of central nervous function.
In 1961 Teuber left New York University for MIT but
with certain misgivings: he hac] had a long association with
his group of brain-injured patients, and he was strongly at-
tachect to his attractive home in Dobbs Ferry just outside New
York City. The early transition to MIT was, in his own worcts,
"somewhat turbulent." But even after the move to the Boston
area, Luke was able to maintain his contacts with the New
York patient group, anct in fact the association laster! some
thirty years. He tract a clear and uncompromising conception
of the type of psychology department he wanted to develop
at MIT, ant] he saw to it that his plan became reality.
In 1961, psychology at MTT was a section in the Depart-
ment of Economics ant! Social Science. But Luke moved rap-
idly to reorganize psychology staffing, to plan a research
building, and to develop a cloctoral program. In contrast to
a proposer] interclepartmental arrangement that would have
overseen all scientists anc! engineers at MIT involved or in-
terestect in psychology, Teuber and his colleagues stressec! the
need for psychology as a core concept. Their aim was a strong
and cohesive program with both educational and research
components. Luke's view was supported by the visiting com-
mittee of the "parent" department and the MIT administra-
tion; by the end of the 1964 academic year, the MIT corpo-
ration conferred clepartmental status on psychology.

From its very beginning the department focused its efforts
on what is now commonly called brain sciences. Three related
parallel lines of interest were vigorously pursued: (~) brain
and behavior (neuropsychology, neuroanatomy, and neuro-
physiology); (2) experimental psychology (perception and
learning); and (3) social and developmental psychology, with
an emphasis on comparative aspects (sensorimotor develop-
ment, cognition and language acquisition, and psycholin-

Weiskrantz has succinctly summarized the clepartment's
further development uncier Teuber's leadership:
To it he attracted scientists of great distinction from a variety of dis-
ciplines, as well as younger persons whose promise later was fulfilled; the
contributions of his colleagues were as important in neurophysiology as in
experimental psychology. He worked unceasingly to attract funds for their
endeavors and to promote a genuinely interdisciplinary atmosphere, warm
and paternalistic, in which he and his colleagues could flourish. The MIT
department became an almost compulsory stopping-off point in the U.S.A.
for scientists from throughout the world with interests in brain function
and psychology; they were invariably greeted with great hospitality and
kindness, their seminars almost always continuing at the Teubers' home
late into the evening, surrounded by a formidable but enthusiastic circle
of graduate students.7
To this day the full-time faculty of the department in-
clucles Walle I. H. Nauta (Institute Professor), who came from
the Walter Reed Institute of Research; Emilio Bizzi, whom
Lukas brought from the National Institutes of Health; Rich-
ard Helc! and Alan Hein from Brandeis University; Stephan
L. Chorover, who came with Teuber from NYU; and Ann M.
Graybiel, Whitman Richards, Peter H. Schiller, and Gerald
E. Schneider, all of whom receiver} their cloctoral degrees at
MIT.
Teuber's scientific interests are succinctly summarized in

the title of one of his many invitec! adciresses, "The Brain
ant! Human Behavior": "What we want to know," he saict, "is
nothing less than what goes on within ourselves (anct by that
we mean within our central nervous system) when we per-
ceive, when we move, when we fee! (or express emotions),
anct when we learn or remember."8 In pursuit of this ambi-
tious goal, his research, which was usually a collaborative ef-
fort, can be cliviclec! into roughly three periods.9
The first phase- with Bender in San Diego—has already
been mentioned. It clealt mainly with visual and perceptual
changes relatect to occipital injuries in a small number of
brain-damaged individuals. This work was characterized by
three qualities: (~) an emphasis on how different examination
procedures provide different answers regarding the nature
of the deficits; (2) a cle-emphasis on the localization aspect of
the effects; and (3) the necessity of complementing clinical
studies with precise, cletaile(1 laboratory investigations. The
French neuropsychologist Hecaen has underscored the im-
pact Teuber's approach has had on contemporary neurolog-
ical procedures.
The work carried out in New York University's Psycho-
physiological Laboratory constitutes the second phase. When
Teuber went to New York in the spring of 1947, he per-
suaclec! the Veterans Administration to allow him to ciraw up
lists of World War II veterans who had relatively stable and
chronic lesions after receiving penetrating head wouncis.
After preliminary interviews at VA hospitals, selectecl pa-
tients were invited to participate in the research project at
the New York University Medical School. The traumatized
