Hofstadter and Dennett's "The Mind's I", first published in 1981,
included a piece by Arnold Zuboff called "The Story of a Brain", in
which the replacement process and some of its implications -- including
Cartesian sensory manipulation -- were discussed. The book is enjoyable
reading.
From the article linked above, which was published in 1995:
"Neural replacement scenarios along the lines discussed in this section are discussed by
Pylyshyn (1980), Savitt (1980), Cuda (1985), and Searle (1992), among others."
