He was an assistant to Hermann Oppenheim, and collaborated with Hugo Liepmann, and Oskar and Cécile Vogt. From around 1934 he was based in London, where until at least 1938 he was associated with the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery.

The collection is in good condition, lightly aged. All three addressed to 'Dear Dr Maas'. ONE: 6 February 1934. Adrian writes on both sides of the card. Having been away from Cambridge on the previous Monday he has only just found Maas's letter. 'I'm afraid it will be too late to arrange a meeting in London tomorrow (7th) but I shall be down next week on the 16th & perhaps we might meet in the morning if you are free then. The Medical Research Council meets in the afternoon of that day.' TWO: 12 February 1934. Adrian writes on both sides. 'Can you come & talk to me about your proposed work on Friday at the Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole Street at about 11 o'clock? I must be off by 12 but an hour should be long enough for me to get all the information the Council will want. Don't trouble to reply if you can come then. The porter will know where to find me.' THREE: 27 January 1938. On one side. Accompanied by the envelope, with stamp and postmark, addressed by Adrian to 'Dr. Otto Maas | National Hospital | Queen Square | W.C. | London', and with 'Prof Adrian' in red pencil, no doubt by Maas.
