Hubel and Wiesel's method of studying neural coding in sensory systems involves
A) defining the receptive fields of individual neurons.
B) determining which stimuli have the most effect on the firing of an individual neuron when they are presented in its visual field.
C) starting at the periphery of a system and progressively studying neurons at "higher" and "higher" levels of the system.
D) all of the above
E) none of the above

Hubel and Wiesel's method involved all three approaches mentioned in choices A, B, and C. They started by defining the receptive fields of individual neurons, then determined which stimuli had the most effect on their firing when presented in their visual fields. From there, they progressed to studying neurons at higher and higher levels of the system.
