Biography
About
Róbert Bárány was born 22 April 1876 in Austria. He trained as an otologist and turned his attention to the vestibular apparatus, the organ that governs balance and spatial orientation. His work mapped the physiology and pathology of that system with enough precision to earn the 1914 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. He died 8 April 1936.
