Beschreibung

Unterschrift / Widmung ohne Bezug; Beschriftungen / Markierungen bis 20 %; Leichte Rillen / Abschürfungen / Risse / Knicke. In neurophysiology, the focus has long been on single-unit studies, stemming from foundational work by Lettwin, Hubel, Wiesel, Mountcastle, and Evarts. Recently, however, there has been a resurgence of interest in field potentials and a broader approach to understanding brain function. This shift is driven by new technical and conceptual advancements, as well as the validation of previously controversial findings. To explore this active field, a conference was held in West Berlin in August 1985, covering a range of innovative approaches to brain study. The conference featured diverse methodologies, including basic and applied research, electric and magnetic techniques, EEG and EP/ERP, and various frequency analyses. It included invited lectures, a panel discussion on "How brains may work," and a comprehensive review of relevant methodologies. The event highlighted how integrating different concepts, methods, and results could unveil significant insights in brain research. The proceedings of the conference, updated and revised by the authors, also include contributions from attendees who were invited to write chapters, enriching the discourse on these emerging topics.

Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

In neurophysiology, the emphasis has been on single-unit studies for a quarter century, since the sensory work by Lettwin and coworkers and by Hubel and Wiesel, the cen­ tral work by Mountcastle, the motor work by the late Evarts, and so on. In recent years, however, field potentials - and a more global approach general­ ly - have been receiving renewed and increasing attention. This is a result of new findings made possible by technical and conceptual advances and by the confirma­ tion and augmentation of earlier findings that were widely ignored for being contro­ versial or inexplicable. To survey the state of this active field, a conference was held in West Berlin in August 1985 that attempted to cover all of the new approaches to the study of brain function. The approaches and emphases were very varied: basic and applied, electric and magnetic, EEG and EP/ERP, connectionistic and field, global and local fields, surface and multielectrode, low frequencies and high frequencies, linear and non­ linear. The conference comprised sessions of invited lectures, a panel session of seven speakers on "How brains may work," and a concluding survey of relevant methodologies. The conference showed that the combination of concepts, methods, and results could open up new important vistas in brain research. Included here are the proceedings of the conference, updated and revised by the authors. Several attendees who did not present papers at the conference later ac­ cepted my invitation to write chapters for the book.
