Abstract
We know that man possesses a highly developed ability to adjust to different environmental conditions. For this function there are physiological regulatory systems, which release reactions in him for protection against such influences. Thus, receptors for light, smell, taste, temperature, sound, touch, position change, pressure, and tension are at hand which, as parts of the cybernetics system, can release physiologically meaningful protective reactions.
