Ivan Pavlov [Evän´ pEtrô´vich päv´luf] was a Russian physiologist and experimental psychologist. He was professor at the military medical academy and director of the physiology department at the Institute for Experimental Medicine, St. Petersburg, from 1890. Pavlov was a skillful ambidextrous surgeon; using dogs as experimental animals, he established fistulas from various parts of the digestive tract by which he obtained secretions of the salivary glands, pancreas, and liver without disturbing the nerve and blood supply. For his work on the physiology of the digestive glands he received the 1904 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. Using the same technique to create an artificial exterior pouch of the stomach, he experimented on nervous stimulation of gastric secretions and ... discovered the conditioned reflex (see behaviorism), which has had widespread influence in neurology and psychology. He also demonstrated that specific areas in the cerebral cortex are concerned with specific reflexes and based on these findings a mechanistic theory of human behavior that found political favor; in 1935 the government built a laboratory for him.

Ivan Pavlov was a Russian physiologist whose research on the physiology of digestion led to the development of the first experimental model of learning, Classical Conditioning. Most of his research was gathered studying salivating dogs. An illustrated review of Pavlov's experiments is available on the [Discovery Web Site].

"CD re-release of one of the first works from Ivan Pavlov aka COH, recorded in 1997 and 1998. Originally released (and now out of print) as a vinyl only album on Raster Noton in 1999, as part of their Static Series. Remastered in sparkling digital quality and featuring 2 tasty bonus tracks recorded around the same time ('Komputer Trilogik für Or' & 'Waltz Nuevo No. 1'). Born in Russia, Ivan Pavlov lives and works in Sweden. However, his cultural roots are in his mother country, and he seems to be more a rapport to the Russian avant-garde rather than to the Western rock-pop tradition. As a qualified acoustic researcher he is involved in developing different possibilities for sound synthesis, yet he has a way to compose single tones to an ensemble which provides both lyrical and comic associations.

Ivan Pavlov developed the concept of conditioned response. The Russian physiologist worked with dogs conditioning them to expect food at the sound of a bell. Pavlov's dogs began to salivate just hearing the bell ring. His work was influential in the development of behaviorism in neurology and psychology. Pavlov, born on this date in 1849, won the Nobel Prize in 1904 for his research on the digestive system.

Ivan Pavlov was born in Ryazan, Russia on September 14, 1849. The Pavlov family usually lived in poverty due to the fact that Peter Dmitrievich, Ivan’s father, was a village priest. The passion and dedication Pavlov’s father had for his profession initially made Pavlov want to pursue a career in religion. Through the introduction of farming and working with soil, Pavlov’s father led him to have an instinct to research everything that related to the Earth and nature. Pavlov’s enthusiasm for discovering the unknowing and understanding the unexplainable guided him to follow an educational path that resulted in him becoming a renowned physiologist. Before receiving his Doctorate of Medicine, Pavlov married Seraphima Vasilievna in 1881.

Ivan Pavlov was born in a small village in central Russia. His family hoped that he would become a priest, and he went to a theological seminary. After reading Charles Darwin, he found that he cared more for scientific pursuits and left the seminary for the University of St. Petersburg. There he studied chemistry and physiology, and he received his doctorate in 1879. He continued his studies and began doing his own research in topics that interested him most: digestion and blood circulation. His work became well known, and he was appointed professor of physiology at the Imperial Medical Academy.
