Thanks, I was looking for something to do with early work and saccades, didn't find that, but found this;

"The most influential of these early discussions was probably the 1943 paper of Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts in which activity in neuronal* networks was identified with the operations of the propositional calculus. Actual simulations of recognition automata based on networks were carried out by Frank Rosenblatt before 1958 but the theoretical limitations of his "perceptrons" were soon pointed out by Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert"

excerpt from a 1998 paper, "Real Brains and Artificial Intelligence" (https://www.jstor.org/stable/20025142)

"Walter Harry Pitts, Jr. (23 April 1923 – 14 May 1969) was an American logician who worked in the field of computational neuroscience.[1]"
