Acknowledgements
I would like to thank Jeff Wickens for his part in the generation of the ideas in this book. He was the first to whom I explained the concepts advanced in Part 3, and in subsequent discussions, he made significant contributions to the way in which I presented the ideas, and to some of the more distinctive terminology I have adopted. I would also like to thank Valentino Braitenberg for unfailing support in this project. I thank Gunther Palm for some very helpful comments on a seminar I gave at Tubingen based on this work, thus extending some of my own ideas. These extensions have been incorporated here. I would also like to thank a much larger number of experimentalists, few of whom I have met, for providing experimental results from which I could construct m
