Abstract
To understand data processing by a nervous system, a neurophysiologist wants to know how the individual neurons work and how they are interconnected. His ultimate goal is to obtain a quantitative specification of how information is utilized by the animal. To reduce a complex nervous system to manageable proportions the neurophysiologist often attempts to isolate quasi-independent subsystems. This approach gives some hope of being able to control the input and to obtain a quantitative measure of the output.
