A logical calculus of the ideas immanent in nervous activity
Warren S. McCulloch,Walter Pitts +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that many particular choices among possible neurophysiological assumptions are equivalent, in the sense that for every net behaving under one assumption, there exists another net which behaves under another and gives the same results, although perhaps not in the same time.

Journal ArticleDOI
What the Frog's Eye Tells the Frog's Brain
TL;DR: The results show that for the most part within that area of the optic nerve of a frog, it is not the light intensity itself but rather the pattern of local variation of intensity that is the exciting factor.

Anatomy and Physiology of Vision in the Frog (Rana pipiens)
Journal ArticleDOI
How we know universals: the perception of auditory and visual forms
Walter Pitts,Warren S. McCulloch +1 more
TL;DR: Two neural mechanisms are described which exhibit recognition of forms which are independent of small perturbations at synapses of excitation, threshold, and synchrony, and are referred to partiular appropriate regions of the nervous system, thus suggesting experimental verification.
