About Heinrich Wilhelm Dove
Heinrich Wilhelm Dove, Polish-German physicist and meteorologist (died 1879) In 1839, he discovered the technique of binaural beats, whereby slightly different frequencies played separately to each ear produced a perception of interference beats at the same rate as would be physically created. He also had an important influence over the science of meteorology, and was considered by some to be a pioneer in this field; Dove's primary meteorological focus was in climatology, a field pioneered by Alexander von Humboldt.
