ABSTRACT
If we could find a convenient way of showing not merely the amplitudes of the envelopes but the actual oscillations of the array of resonators, we would have a notation (cf. Gabor 1946) of even greater generality and flexibility, one that would reduce under certain idealizing assumptions to the spectrum and under others to the wave form The analogy … [to] the position-momentum and energy-time problems that led Heisenberg in 1927 to state his uncertainty principle … has led Gabor to suggest that we may find the solution [to the problems of sensory processing] in quantum mechanics.
