Abstract
The feature detector hypothesis, and its subsequent development into the doctrine that single neurons code for perceptually significant events, has been the leitmotiv of most work on sensory systems. In the face of strong competition from the alternative theories of neural networks and oscillating ensembles of neurons, the single neuron doctrine retains its grip on the imagination of those working on the neural mechanisms of perception.Keywords
