Synopsis
The study of sensory processing is a cornerstone of contemporary neurobiology and ethology, and a treasurehouse for the engineer or computer scientist. This volume reviews studies by international authorities, chosen to illustrate the molecular, cellular and computational principles underlying sensory processing. It covers vision, olfaction, mechano-reception, electro-reception, audition and echo-location are considered in animals as diverse as bats, owls, electric fish, primates and insects. The classical techniques of psychophysics, neuroanatomy and neurophysiology combine with recent advances in molecular genetics, computer modelling and comparative anatomy to cast new light upon the function and evolution of sensory systems. The principles considered in this volume transcend the boundaries between phyla and between scientific disciplines, illustrating that the insight gained from the study of one system can clarify the workings of another.
