It is now generally accepted for a variety of reasons -
morphological as well as physiologica- that the visual systems of
arthropods provide a suitable model for the study of information
proces sing in neuronal networks. Unlike the neurophysiology of the
visual pathway in the frog and the cat which is more than
adequately documented, recent work on the compound eye and optical
ganglia of spiders, crustaceans, and insects has scarcely been
summarized. In order to fill this void so that others, especially
vertebrate neurophysiologists may become familiar with the advan
tages of these systems, our group at Zurich University organized
here in March 1972, a European meeting to discuss the anatomical. !
neurophysiological and behavioral knowledge on the compound eye and
the visual. pathway of arthropods. Systems analysis was regarded as
the main theme of the conference, but systems analysis of a network
of neurons cannot be done as a mere "black-box" maneuver. The
conference therefore tried to reconcile neurophysiology and
behavioral analysis in order to make predictions about a necessary
and sufficient neural structure. The "wiring dia grams" of such a
structure might then be confirmed histologically. Hence the aim of
the conferen ce was not to deal only with the structure and
function of the compound eye - i. e.
