Signal Fluctuations and the Information Transmission Rates in Binary Communication Channels
Agnieszka Pregowska
In nervous system information is conveyed by sequence of action potentials (spikes-trains). As MacKay and McCulloch proposed, spike-trains can be represented as bits sequences comi…

How far can neural correlations reduce uncertainty? Comparison of Information Transmission Rates for Markov and Bernoulli processes
Agnieszka Pregowska, Ehud Kaplan, Janusz Szczepanski
The nature of neural codes is central to neuroscience. Do neurons encode information through relatively slow changes in the emission rates of individual spikes (rate code), or by t…

Temporal code versus rate code for binary Information Sources
Agnieszka Pregowska, Janusz Szczepanski, Eligiusz Wajnryb
Neuroscientists formulate very different hypotheses about the nature of neural code. At one extreme, it has been argued that neurons encode information in relatively slow changes o…
