ANNUAL SUMMARY REPORT MAY 1 1959-APRIL 30 1960,

Abstract

Effort was mainly devoted to the development of a 'Laboratory of Cybernetics' within the 'Scuola di Perfezionamento in Fisica Teorica e Nucleare' of the University of Naples. The laboratory was planned for experimental work connected with the development of cybernetic theories about the working of neuron assemblies. Specific projects include (1) how a timing mechanism in the cerebellum may be employed in the control of voluntary movements, (2) morphological observations on the optic tectum of teleosts, (3) attempts at a mathematical characterization of an area of undifferentiated cortex in man, and (4) measurements on dendrites of the cerebral cortex of Bos taurus.
