Spatial summation effects on two-component grating thresholds.

Some experimental studies of subthreshold summation between sinusoidal grating components have been interpreted as showing very narrow channel bandwidths in human visions. This paper discusses an alternative interpretation of these experiments based on consideration of probability-summation effects among spatially distributed detectors. We conclude that frequency-selective channels must still be hypothesized in order to fit the data, but the channel bandwidth may be much wider than earlier interpretations suggest.

Molecular evolution as a process of message refinement.

Amino acid sequences are often said to code for proteins. Taking that statement literally, we propose a methodology in which protein sequences appear as messages and as such are amenable to the techniques of signal analysis. Not only does this view of amino acid sequences as messages appear to be tenable, but the clarity of expression of these sequences seems to increase, i.e., the noisiness decreases, consonant with notions of ascendancy in the hierarchy of morphological taxonomy.
