posted on 2018-07-20, 10:06 authored by Peter I. Zorkoczy1. The aim of the present thesis is to examine. from the point of view
of the control theorist. the possibility of formalisation of the
functioning of the nervous and hormonal systems of higher mammals,
and to advance cybernetic models for some aspects of the operation of
these systems.
2. A general control model is described for the interaction of the
biological organism with its environment and is supported by a reinterpretation
of some physiological phenomena in the terms of the model.
3. Two formal models of the pre-cortical segment of the visual system
of the cat are proposed. The first model is expressed in terms of
mathematical logic and serves as a guide to a second, more accurate
and exhaustive, approximation which makes use of continuous operations. [Continues.]
