RESEARCH ON INFORMATION PROCESSING IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.

Abstract

A system of automatic receptive field mapping for visual cortical neurons by a digital computer. It consists of (1) stimulus display by a digital CRT, simultaneous data sampling and on-line data processing into a post-stimulus time histogram and an averaged evoked potential, and (2) offline readout of numerical values and tabulation. Several problems lying between the neurophysiological or statistical nature of the response and data processing techniques are also described and discussed. (Author)
