Abstract

The passing of Jack Pettigrew (University of Queensland) and Bogdan Dreher (University of Sydney) within 2 weeks of each other in May 2019 provided the catalyst for documenting the roles that they and their colleagues from the Peter Bishop School played in establishing vision research as a major strength in Australian neuroscience in the second half of the 20th century.

Keywords: Australia; Bogdan Dreher; Jack Pettigrew; Peter Bishop; history of science; visual neuroscience.
