"An important reference book for graduate students and faculty in the neuroscience discipline, psychology and other related disciplines, and secondarily for those involved in vision research. It is to be considered a 'state of the art' book, both experimentally and theoretically, concerning neuronal activity in accounting for sensory, perceptual and cognitive processes."—Journal of Electrophysiological Techniques
