Dynamics of Sensory and Cognitive Processing by the Brain: Integrative Aspects of Neural Networks, Electroencephalography, Event-Related Potentials, Contingent Negative Variation, Magnetoencephalography, and Clinical Applications

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...
