Vision : the approach of biophysics and neurosciences : proceedings of the International School of Biophysics, Casamicciola, Napoli, Italy, 11-16 October 1999 /

The light sense is conceivably the key sense in both the animal and the plant kingdom. Vision research, undoubtedly a fast-growing field, is providing impressive results - thanks to modern theoretical and methodological advances. The approach of biophysics and neuroscience seems to be of great benef...
