Abstract :
We review experimental methods used to study cortex functional architecture, including the optical imaging technique. Information gained from studies of stimulus evoked brain activity will aid our understanding of sensory coding and information processing in central nervous systems and should be incorporated into biologically plausible models of cortical function
