Harold Saxton Burr (April 10, 1889 - February 16, 1973) was an American anatomist who proposed an Electro-Dynamic theory of human development, and researched the L-Field, his designation for the human bio-electric field, which he proposed to be measurable using a standard voltmeter.

Do living organisms posses steady state, or direct current, potential differences? 2. Can these potential differences be measured in such a way as to be free from the usual ambiguities of electrical measurement, i.e., can the determination of potential differences be made independently of resistance changes and current flow? 3. Do these potential differences reflect an unorganized chaos or are they related in such a way as to produce definable electrodynamic fields? 4. If such fields are present, are they merely by-products of the living process or are they determinants of the pattern of organization?"
