We deeple regret that the Charles University cannot express our gratitude to Prof. Eberhard Dodt - the superior patron of visual electrophysiology not only in Hradec KrlovÈ but in all former communistic countries. (It is not possible to award this medal "in memoriam"). He set up many fellowships in his Bad Nauheim laboratories which enabled countless visual electrophysiologist to keep up to date in their field. Prof. Dodt remains forever in our memory.
