Higher Order Sensory Processing (Studies in Neuroscience)

One of the most important processes underlying behaviour is the means whereby changes in the environment are transformed within the nervous system into information which can serve as a basis for appropriate action. Sensory processing also provides the essential substrate for memory. This volume provides a broad range of studies on sensory processing within the higher centres of the brain, from insects to man. Topics covered include flight control in honeybees, multimodal integration in fish, auditory and visual hierarchies in man and primates, and the development of audiovisual maps and artificial sensing.
