Combinatorial coding in neural populations
L. C. Osborne, S. E. Palmer, S. G. Lisberger +1
To evaluate the nature of the neural code in the cerebral cortex, we have used a combination of theory and experiment to assess how information is represented in a realistic cortic…
Efficient representation as a design principle for neural coding and computation
William Bialek, Rob R. de Ruyter van Steveninck, Naftali Tishby
Does the brain construct an efficient representation of the sensory world? We review progress on this question, focusing on a series of experiments in the last decade which use fly…
Neural coding of a natural stimulus ensemble: Uncovering information at sub-millisecond resolution
Ilya Nemenman, Geoffrey D. Lewen, William Bialek +1
Our knowledge of the sensory world is encoded by neurons in sequences of discrete, identical pulses termed action potentials or spikes. There is persistent controversy about the ex…
Ising models for networks of real neurons
Gasper Tkacik, Elad Schneidman, Michael J Berry +1
Ising models with pairwise interactions are the least structured, or maximum-entropy, probability distributions that exactly reproduce measured pairwise correlations between spins.…
Synergy from Silence in a Combinatorial Neural Code
Elad Schneidman, Jason L. Puchalla, Ronen Segev +3
The manner in which groups of neurons represent events in the external world is fundamental to neuroscience. Here, we analyze the population code of the retina during naturalistic…
Weak pairwise correlations imply strongly correlated network states in a neural population
Elad Schneidman, Michael J. Berry, Ronen Segev +1
Biological networks have so many possible states that exhaustive sampling is impossible. Successful analysis thus depends on simplifying hypotheses, but experiments on many systems…
