The FlEye camera: Sampling the joint distribution of natural scenes and motion
Charles J. Edelson, Paul Smith, Sima Setayeshgar +2
To make efficient use of limited physical resources, the brain must match its coding and computational strategies to the statistical structure of input signals. An attractive testi…
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…
Features and dimensions: Motion estimation in fly vision
William Bialek, Rob R. de Ruyter van Steveninck
We characterize the computation of motion in the fly visual system as a mapping from the high dimensional space of signals in the retinal photodetector array to the probability of…
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…
Neural coding of naturalistic motion stimuli
G. D. Lewen, W. Bialek, R. R. de Ruyter van Steveninck
We study a wide field motion sensitive neuron in the visual system of the blowfly {\em Calliphora vicina}. By rotating the fly on a stepper motor outside in a wooded area, and alon…
