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…
Spike timing and the coding of naturalistic sounds in a central auditory area of songbirds
Brian D. Wright, Kamal Sen, William Bialek +1
In nature, animals encounter high dimensional sensory stimuli that have complex statistical and dynamical structure. Attempts to study the neural coding of these natural signals fa…
