Title:

Proposal to the System Development Foundation for funds for a theoretical neurobiology group at the Salk Institute

Creator:

Crick, Francis, 1916-2004

Recipient:

System Development Foundation (Palo Alto, Calif.)

Date:

January 1982

Description:

In this grant application, Crick criticized prevailing models of the brain derived from computer science and called for a new theory to explain information processing in the brain, which he hoped to develop by studying the neurobiology of the visual system in humans. The application gives a concise description of Crick's theoretical work in neurobiology at the Salk Institute.
