Harold Saxton Burr

Harold Saxton Burr (April 18, 1889, Lowell, Massachusetts&mdash;February 17, 1973) was E. K. Hunt Professor of Anatomy at Yale University School of Medicine. Burr was a member of the faculty of medicine for over forty-three years. From 1916 to the late 1950s, he published, either alone or with others, more than ninety-three scientific papers.

Burr is most well known for his claim, that all living things are molded and controlled by electro-dynamic fields, which could be measured and mapped with standard voltmeters. He named these fields fields of life or L-fields.
