This was cited in Wiener's Cybernetics and in Marr's Vision, and the pun in the title was enough to make me seek out this obscure monograph in MIT's unbelievably great library system. Unfortunately, the book itself isn't terribly interesting. It's a criticism of Ayer's views on sensory-data and perception.
