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…
