Description

L'année psychologique - Année 1949 - Volume 50 - Numéro 1 - Pages 129-134
Single spikes, isolated from the retina of decerebrate cats by the micro-electrode technique, have been studied at variable short exposures of illumination in order to find out whether on-and off-discharges overlap and mutually reinforce each other, or whether they are mutually exclusive in the sensé that the final common path only can deliver one at a time. The latter was found to be the case.
