The neuron style of organized information processing was known about way back in the late 1950s.

The key paper was called "What the Frog's Eye tells the Frog's Brain."
My unfinished Ph.D was on a related topic. 1962-1965.

Was that done on a spiro-giro? Fantastic things weren't they, usually owned by posh girls who looked down on you, well me. She did eventually let me play with it tho.
