Spike patterns optimize information transmission in neural populations

Sensory neurons respond to a stimulus, such as light or sound with temporal sequences of electric pulses known as action potentials. Action potentials carry information about a stimulus in temporal sequences. Little is known, however, about how groups of neurons convey information, in part because o...
