Physical limits to biochemical signaling
W. Bialek, S. Setayeshgar
Many crucial biological processes operate with surprisingly small numbers of molecules, and there is renewed interest in analyzing the impact of noise associated with these small n…
Computation in a single neuron: Hodgkin and Huxley revisited
Blaise Aguera y Arcas, Adrienne L. Fairhall, William Bialek
A spiking neuron ``computes'' by transforming a complex dynamical input into a train of action potentials, or spikes. The computation performed by the neuron can be formulated as d…
Analyzing neural responses to natural signals: Maximally informative dimensions
Tatyana Sharpee, Nicole C. Rust, William Bialek
We propose a method that allows for a rigorous statistical analysis of neural responses to natural stimuli which are non-Gaussian and exhibit strong correlations. We have in mind a…
Maximally informative dimensions: Analyzing neural responses to natural signals
Tatyana Sharpee, Nicole C. Rust, William Bialek
We propose a method that would allow for a rigorous statistical analysis of neural responses to natural stimuli, which are non-Gaussian and exhibit strong correlations. We have in…
Thinking about the brain
William Bialek
We all are fascinated by the phenomena of intelligent behavior, as generated both by our own brains and by the brains of other animals. As physicists we would like to understand if…
Timing and Counting Precision in the Blowfly Visual System
Rob de Ruyter van Steveninck, William Bialek
We measure the reliability of signals at three levels within the blowfly visual system, and present a theoretical framework for analyzing the experimental results, starting from th…
