I'm not sure if this has been mentioned in the past (I'm new to this list),
but in 2002 Rajesh Rao, Bruno Olshausen, and Mike Lewicki were the editors
for an entire book on "Probabilistic Models of the Brain: Perception and
Neural Function":

http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/rao/nn_book_review.pdf (review in nature
neuroscience)
The websites for Rao, Olshausen, and Lewicki are also great resources:
