Robert Bárány is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Otologist awarded the 1914 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his work on the physiology and pathology of the vestibular (balance) apparatus of the inner ear.
Bárány, from a Viennese Jewish family, was a physician who studied the inner ear and its role in balance. By analysing the eye movements and vertigo produced when the ear canal is warmed or cooled, he uncovered how the vestibular apparatus governs equilibrium, creating diagnostic tests still associated with his name. He received the 1914 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
