Human perception: A network theory approach [31]

Abstract

A RELATIONSHIP between intelligence and the evoked responses of the visual pathway has been demonstrated by a new approach to problems in psychology and psychiatry - the use of electronic instruments. These include various types of average response computers, which are designed to average statistically a number of waveforms so that any random variations in the waveforms are minimized. This statistical averaging makes it possible to study signals which would not otherwise be available because of excessive background noise. © 1968 Nature Publishing Group.
