You're going to have to dig deeper. The concept of a receptive field goes all the way back to convolutional filters.

It's not surprising that we found out later the brain also uses such a fundamental element of signal theory.

Oh good. So you do admit that there are useful parallels between signal processing, statistical processing, and the brain, and that your whole rant was just that, a rant. Probably one aimed at making yourself look smart, dissing other smart people, and the silly wars between different disciplines.

Everything is regression, be it in a computer or in a brain.
