Spikes: Exploring the Neural Code

by Fred Rieke, Rob de Ruyter van Steveninck, David Warland, et al.

Book Overview

What does it mean to say that a certain set of spikes is the right answer to a computational problem? In what sense does a spike train convey information about the sensory world? Spikes begins by providing precise formulations of these and related questions about the representation of sensory signals in neural spike trains. The answers to these questions are then pursued in experiments on sensory neurons. Intended for neurobiologists with an...
