This book is not a general treatise on vision, but in deals with some additions to visual physiology in the last fifteen years that have been derived from the study of action potentials of the retina and the optic nerve, and particularly with work in this field with which the author has been closely associated and in which his laboratory has been notably active.

The present work was undertaken with the idea that the technical problems encountered in detecting the electrical activity of single retinal units in the frog's retina might amount to some integrativeaction of the nervous layers of the retina analogous to the integrative action of the spinal cord studied by Sherrington.
