  • Beschreibung: The author began his career in the neurophysiology of vision in the 1980s, just when the field was coming into focus with the advent of new computing and imaging technologies. As a pioneer in the technique of mesoscopic imaging, he worked with some of the giants in vision science: Torsten Wiesel, Francis Crick, Tom Albright, and many others. With insight and clarity, this book shows how science is built on such relationships. Along the way, the author gives a vivid sense of the abundant passion and creativity that drive scientists in their pursuit of understanding.
