Variability and coding e ciency of noisy neural spike encoders
Encoding synaptic inputs as a train of action potentials is a fundamental function of nerve cells. Although spike trains recorded in vivo have been shown to be highly variable, it is unclear whether variability in spike timing represents faithful encoding of temporally varying synaptic inputs or noise inherent in the spike encoding mechanism. It has been reported that spike timing variability i...
متن کاملStatistical models for neural encoding, decoding, and optimal stimulus design.
There are two basic problems in the statistical analysis of neural data. The "encoding" problem concerns how information is encoded in neural spike trains: can we predict the spike trains of a neuron (or population of neurons), given an arbitrary stimulus or observed motor response? Conversely, the "decoding" problem concerns how much information is in a spike train, in particular, how well can...

متن کاملModel-Based Decoding, Information Estimation, and Change-Point Detection Techniques for Multineuron Spike Trains
One of the central problems in systems neuroscience is to understand how neural spike trains convey sensory information. Decoding methods, which provide an explicit means for reading out the information contained in neural spike responses, offer a powerful set of tools for studying the neural coding problem. Here we develop several decoding methods based on point-process neural encoding models,...
متن کاملSupervised Synaptic Weight Adaptation for a Spiking Neuron
A novel algorithm named Spike-LMS is described that adapts the synaptic weights of an artificial spiking neuron to produce a desired response. The derivation of Spike-LMS follows from the derivation of the Least-Mean Squares (LMS) algorithm used in adaptive filter theory. Spike-LMS works directly in the domain of spike trains, and therefore makes no assumptions about any particular neural encod...
