Analog models of neural mechanism

This paper outlines in condensed form the use that can be made of accurate neural analogs in analyzing the complexities of nervous systems. After a short review of the most pertinent information available in neurophysiology, various ways of modeling neural behavior are discussed. A brief description is given of the "neuromime" we have used. We then describe two applications of this analog. The first is a model of the flicker-fusion mechanism of the eye, and the second is a model of the spiral innervation of the ear.
