The Astrologer
Auger Ferrier (1513-88), a native of Toulouse, was a well-known physician at Montpellier, and doctor to Catherine de' Medici.
According to Thorndike, "he was famous for his proficiency in astrology and other arts less known to the vulgar." Highly esteemed by Scaliger, Ferrier was involved in a fascinating literary controversy with Cardan as well as a famous polemic with Jean Bodin.
He wrote an important treatise on the plague, and was recognized for his work on dreams.
Similar to Michel Nostradamus, he 'perfected the science of Astrology' and studied the sciences of nature, the natural secrets of plants, or "simples", for medicinal use.
He specialized in the area of dream interpretation.
Together with Michel de Nostradamus- both being part of the same Magi Brotherhood - Auger Ferrier became one of Catalina de Medici's favorite astrologers.

David Ferrier and the Brain
The giant of an early breakthrough line of research into the function of the brain was the British physiologist and physician David Ferrier (1843-1924), who carried out a number of advanced and systematic experiments, around 1875. He stimulated with a higher precision the cortex of dogs and monkeys. In the later, he was able to draw a map with 29 different functions across the cortex, which he identified and numbered. In this way, Ferrier created the basic methodology to be used for the next three quarters of century.
