Channel noise induced stochastic facilitation in an auditory brainstem neuron model
Brett A. Schmerl, Mark D. McDonnell
Neuronal membrane potentials fluctuate stochastically due to conductance changes caused by random transitions between the open and close states of ion channels. Although it has pre…
Neural Population Coding is Optimized by Discrete Tuning Curves
Alexander P. Nikitin, Nigel G. Stocks, Robert P. Morse +1
The sigmoidal tuning curve that maximizes the mutual information for a Poisson neuron, or population of Poisson neurons, is obtained. The optimal tuning curve is found to have a di…
Maximally Informative Stimuli and Tuning Curves for Sigmoidal Rate-Coding Neurons and Populations
Mark D. McDonnell, Nigel G. Stocks
A general method for deriving maximally informative sigmoidal tuning curves for neural systems with small normalized variability is presented. The optimal tuning curve is a nonline…
