2. Transient Probability Distributions of Nerve Impulse Intervals, S. B. Thesis, Department of Physics, M.I. T., June 1964. The time evolution of the distribution of nerve-impulse intervals was examined by measuring histograms at varying times in the stimulus cycle. The distribution width was found to vary inversely as the stimulus strength. There is an indication that the width also depends up...

Within that band the spectral distribution of power in a ray of light describes some of its qualities. The color that is perceived seems to be related to that spectral distribution. Two of the operations tha...
