[For the entire collection see Zbl 0712.00014.] In neurophysiology, Gabor wavelets have been shown to represent a good model for the impulse response function of mammalian visual systems [see \textit{J. P. Jones} and \textit{L. A. Palmer}, ``An evaluation of the two-dimensional Gabor filter model of simple receptive fields in cat striate cortex'', J. Neurophysiol. 58, 1233--1258 (1987); the reviewer, ``Bohr's indeterminacy principle in quantum holography, self-adaptive neural network architectures, cortical self-organization, molecular computers, magnetic resonance imaging, and solitonic nanotechnology'', Proc. SPIE 1658, Nonlinear Image Processing III, 47 p. (1992; \url{doi:10.1117/12.58386}); \textit{C. P. Veronin}, \textit{K. L. Priddy}, \textit{S. K. Rogers}, \textit{K. W. Ayer}, \textit{M. Kabrisky} and \textit{B. Welsh}, ``Optimal image segmentation using neural-based wavelet filtering techniques'', Opt. Eng. 31, 287--294 (1992)]. In the paper under review, the authors use the theory of frames in Hilbert space as a criterion for determining when Gabor expansions are good representations of a given signal. Some results on the existence of Gabor and affine wavelet frames in the Hilbert space of finite energy signals are presented.
