Series on Biophysics and Biocybernetics - Vol. 9
NEURONAL CODING OF PERCEPTUAL SYSTEMS
Proceedings of the International School of Biophysics
Casamicciola, Napoli, Italy 12 - 17 October 1998
edited by W Backhaus (Freie Universität Berlin, Germany)
This book provides a most complete overview of physiological and psychophysical properties of perceptual systems in man and animals. The information processing chains are described step-by-step from the stimuli of the respective environments, via the perceptual neuronal coding networks to conscious sensations and behavior.
Articles by W G K Backhaus, A G Clark, B Hiley, A Iznak, M Kavaliers, B Kramer, A Michelsen, C Neumeyer, G A Orban, T Radil, D G Stavenga, M Stengl, U Thurm, R L DeValois, R Wehner, J S Werner, W Wiltschko, and related short articles.
