Funahashi et al.'s work focused on studying neural activity in monkeys during a specific cognitive task, which is an example of the physiological approach to coding. They recorded from individual neurons in the prefrontal cortex and found that the activity of some neurons was specifically related to the location of the visual cue that indicated which response to make. This kind of research seeks to understand the relationship between specific cognitive functions and neural activity in the brain.
