J. C. R. Licklider
- Director (1962-1964) -
DARPA
In 1962, the director of the research department of the Ministry of Defense, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Arpa, later Darpa), offered Licklider to take over the "Command and Control Research" department and build up a behavioral research department, for which he was provided with a Q-32 from SDC. Licklider was also guaranteed for full autonomy for his research. He then moved to the Arpa in October 1962 and was now able to pursue his ideas for time sharing and human-machine interaction and propagate in government circles.
In 1973 Licklider returned to Darpa as head of the Ipto and looked after the outsourcing of the Arpanet from the Darpa, before switching again in 1975, where he ended his professional career.

Among other things, he studied chemistry, physics, art and psychology. He finally graduated in psychology, mathematics and physics in 1937.
Licklider dealt with psychoacoustics as a doctoral student and did her doctorate with research on the processing of tones in the brain of cats.

Licklider left this in 1957 and switched to the acoustic and information technology company Bolt Beranek and Newman (BBN). On the PDP-1, a "minicomputer" by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), which was realized on the TX-0 of the first time sharing systems with the TX-0 and made Licklider available to two (only 53 existing) computers for his personal research. Numerous leading computer scientists followed Licklider to BBN.
