Walter Cannon
Walter Bradford Cannon was an American physiologist, professor and chairman of the Department of Physiology at Harvard Medical School. His work on understanding the auto-regulatory system in living beings, coining the term
homeostasis, will become one of the fundaments of Cybernetics giving the possibility to a deeper study of autoregulation and its simulations in technical systems as adaptive autonomous machines. His work is considered the first to explicitly connect cybernetics to virtual anthropology through the study of the phenomena of
Voodoo Death. Cannon is also the founder of the
Wicht Club, a secret associations operating at Harvard.
