Download or read book Neuronal Coding of Perceptual Systems written by W Backhaus and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2001-10-29 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 behaviour.
