Abstract
This paper is a survey of the main experimental and theoretical difficulties encountered in the study of the nervous system. These difficulties are illustrated by examples of the uncertainties still existing in knowledge of the behavior of neurons, both individually and in groups, and in the interpretation of experimental observations. Concepts of the reduction of data from electrophysiological experiments are discussed and compared with those in physical experiments.
