I was born April 15th, 1880, in the Czech Republic. When I was young I had always loved music, playing the violin in my early twenties I thought I would be a musician. In school I became drawn to all sorts of philosophy and psychology. I  studied psychology at the University of Würzburg and in 1904 invented a lie detector. I studied the psychology of courtroom testimony but then veered off to the brain as a whole.

I had all focus on the mind and started my studies with the phi phenomenon and worked with two assistants, Wolfgang Köhler and Kurt Koffka. I created Psychologische Forschung, which was a journal of my ideas and the progress I’ve made. I came to continue my research in America after fleeing Germany when the Nazis were taking power. I now live in New York as a professor.

Max groups best with gestalt psychology because he was one of the founders, so he practically knows more than anyone else. He also works good with cognitive theories because his main study through his life was on perception of humans.

I joined this group because I wanted to be able to keep everyone who works or studies at the school posted about events and anything going on

This was one of the co-founder for Gestalt Psychology and one of the few friends max had in his life. He also kinda looks like young Harrison Ford so that’s cool.
