Abstract

About half a century ago, the first micro–electrode recordings of sensory neurons in mammalian visual cortex transformed our thinking about how vision works. Since that time, the physiology of cognitive processes has developed into a mature and complete discipline. New techniques have been developed and the old techniques are being deployed in new ways. However, the most spectacular development has been the growth in the range of topics that are now addressed by this discipline.
