Ludimar Hermann (1838 to 1914) was a German physiologist and speech scientist. He used the Edison phonograph to test theories of vowel production, in particular those of Robert Willis and Charles Wheatstone, and in doing so he coined the word formant, a term that remains important in modern acoustic phonetics. He is also remembered for the Hermann grid, an optical illusion that bears his name because he was the first to report it in the scientific literature. He was born on 31 October 1838 and died on 5 June 1914.
