  • Title: Models for sensation and perception: a selective history.
    Author: Bourassa CM.
    Journal: Hum Neurobiol; 1986; 5(1):23-36. PubMed ID: 3516941.
    Abstract:
    This paper is a historical survey, for nonspecialists, of models used to account for sensation and perception. Emphasis is placed on several crucial ideas that have given rise to major changes in explanatory models: namely, geometrical optics, receptive fields and systems or computational approaches. The nature of sensory coding and neural representation is briefly considered against this background.
